Actually in basic tasks like opening My Computer/Windows Explorer/File Explorer and folders, or Note Pad etc., W/9x could be as fast or faster for me than any of the XP/win8/10 PCs I have used since till my most recent, even with a 4.2. Ghz CPU and 16Gb ram.
In 2005 I was running a build with a AMD Athlon 650 MHz CPU, MSI K7Pro (MS-6195) Motherboardm with 192 MB System Memory, which was quite fast and capable for its day, as long as you watched System Resources via FreeRamXPpro. On dial-up.
Do not want to go back to that though. Thank God for what He provides, to be used for His purposes.
You can buy Windows 7 at ebay which I have done but Microsoft has blocked the sale at regular stores.
Many people have reported Start menu and display problems and BSOD's they could not recover from.

Thanks for the heads up. When I crank up the Win 10 PC and start the initial updates, I’ll skip this one for the present and come back to it later if I need it.
Thanks - Early on, I had to update the BIOS in my PC and laptop to straighten out some compatibility issues and haven’t had any problems since. Bought both machines with Win10 on them so I’m guessing some folks have the OS on older machines and/or may not have done some other “issue fixers”.
Of course, Microsoft continues to provide many “undocumented features” which rear their ugly heads from time to time...
Back in time, it was the pseudo Mustang Toyota Celica GT that had my eye, but $500 too much, at the time.
