These are all just for fun. The most light hearted and probably most well known is the "Windows 93" emulation which runs in your browser. It was put up by two Frenchmen yeas ago. I enjoy the Midi Jukebox with hundreds of midi music files. There are dozens of versions of Stairway to Heaven. I would recommend you start with stairway-5.mid. And don't forget to click on the dolphin Totally not a virus icon as you are getting ready to leave from a time when viruses were meant more as a joke than a secret way to steal your account and personal info.
Here is the link directly to the Windows 93 page if you do not feel like going to the article first.

I have emulators installed for many operating systems on our laptops up to Windows 11. I really like the BlueStacks 5 Android emulator, it can give the Apple fan boys a chance to dip their toes in Android without actually buying a device. I have a lot of useful apps installed on it from the Google Play Store and the Amazon App Store. In my opinion the Android book reading apps are superior to anything available for Windows 10. My two favorites are ezPDF Reader Pro and Moon+ Reader Pro. I paid about $5 for each of them, but they both have free versions to try. Both of them work well on every Android device that I own. BlueStacks has a variety of Android emulators and is used as a gaming platform by many. Here is the link to BlueStacks. It is completely free.

Part of the joy in running those early Windows systems was dealing with the error messages. Sure, it took years off my life. But it was fun.

I’m just happy being able to run Windows 10 with the appearance and function of Windows 7.

"WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY WOULD ANYONE DO SUCH AN EVIL THING AS RUNNING WINDOWS 95 IN EMULATION?"

Windows93 didn’t have a Hearts game? What’s the point?

Old software that is not capable of running on anything higher than that version.
We have some test software that is used in our production testing that cannot be upgraded..........................

I think I still have some windows95 installation floppies. I wonder if it would install on new hardware. 🤔 First thought is no way, but then again if I remember right win95 installed out of the box with very minimal hardware driver requirements.

There are dozens of browser based emulators with hearts...
I know. I prefer the non-browser version, and there is a good one for Apple iOS. For pure nostalgia, though, nothingis better than the easily defeated Windows 95 non-browser version.

Personally I haven't found any compelling need to go all the way back to Win95; I find that Win98SE does everything I want to do LOL.
Of course, those applications (they weren't quite full-up operating systems yet) are running as VMs under VMware (typically Fusion on a Mac) because they don't have drivers for modern hardware, but VMware takes care of all that. I imagine VirtualBox does a good job of that also.
The mid-90's version of MS-DOS (6.x) runs successfully in a VM too, and prints out a correct value for the amount of free disk space (in bytes, mind you).
