    • Acquire a boxset for Windows 95 from your local Microsoft partner
    • BACK UP YOUR DATA!
    • Follow the installation instructions printed on your Setup floppy (WARNING: Don’t use the Boot floppy or you’ll lose your data!)

    For reference:

    • Once you’ve installed all 13 floppy disks, reboot.

    • Connect your modem, dial into your phone line, and point Internet Explorer to http://v2.windowsupdaterestored.com to check for updates and install all of them.

    • (Microsoft’s own website for Windows 95 updates is currently experiencing some temporary downtime.)

    • From this point on, you can do in-place-upgrades through the versions by following each Windows version’s installation instructions.

    • If you run into hardware compatibility issues, contact your hardware vendor for up-to-date drivers.

    • IMPORTANT: Make sure you own a valid license for each version of the Microsoft Windows operating system before you install!
