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.

If you have a USB floppy drive the easiest way to get everything working would probably be to use them to set up a virtual machine in virtual box. If you do not have a USB floppy drive you can just download images from archive.org. There are many to choose from.

I remember 95 being an absolute bear trying to get some hardware to work properly. Had to have a degree in computers to I stall some hardware as I remember?
