Windows 10: Windows 95/NT4/98/Me/2000 Updates

Hi guysDo you guys have updates for Windows 95/NT4/98/Me/2000. The project Windows Update Restored doesn't have enough update files for Windows 95/NT4/98/Me/2000 to keep the project going. Can you please send us an update archive? Thanks.

Hyper-V and Windows 95/98?

So, I did try compatibility mode. That will run partly, but it won't work for the SETUP.EXE I need to run for the game to work. That means I either need to get a VM working or that I need to actually build a Windows 95/98 computer. Which of these two paths do you suggest I pursue more than the other?

1. Use VMWare/VBox to try to get Windows 95/98 going
2. Find the hardware needed to build a Windows 95/98 machine.

"Incidentally if installing under VMware or Vbox remember to install the VMWare tools or VBOX additions to the guest after first logon -- windows 98 / 95 won't know anything about HDMI / 1080p/ 4k Ultra HD size monitors -- that's what the virtual video driver will do - plus better control for sound, mouse, networking and some other enhancements.
I can assure you it's hideous looking at standard VGA on a big 50 inch 4K monitor !!! That's what you will get if you don't install vmware tools or vbox additions (might be called Oracle virtual box additions these days)."

^This is why I'm leaning more towards actually building a Windows 95/98 system from old parts.

Someone else from another source also suggested to me that running Windows XP might be the middle ground for the game to work between Windows 10 and Windows 95. Questions based on this idea:
Q. Will Windows XP install to an SSd, or for that matter, to an M.2 SSD?
Q. Is there still a buy-able copy of Windows XP out there?

Right now I'm downloading VMWare Workstation 15 Pro. Is that the VM software I need?

 

Windows 98 and ME no longer updatable...

You can still get everything you need to make a Windows 95, 98 computer compatible with Windows 7 computers on a network and even in an AD domain (although the confguration is harder due to there not being any wizards and such).

My suggestion would be that as you find each patch you need, put them on a CD (and give the files names you can understand) so that in the future you will have a compilation of the updates in the event you want to build another legacy machine in the future.

 

Programs for a Windows 95/98

Is there any way to run a program made for Windows 95/98 on a Windows 10 machine? I have a lot of kids games for a Windows 95/98 computer for my son with autism, but wondered if they could still be played on my Windows 10 computer. Are there any fixes
available?
