This amazing emulator can bring back Windows 95 to your PC!

August this year will mark 20 years since the Windows 95 operating system was launched, bringing happiness all around the world.

Now you can relive those days with a Windows 95 emulator that runs in your browser. Built by a student at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, the emulator uses Emscripten and DOSBox to give you that authentic ’95 experience.

According to the student, Andrea Faulds, she started the project for the sake of nostalgia and because it was just plain fun. It will give users a chance to experience the birth of now well-known Windows features including the start menu and the task bar.

However, she stated that the emulator is strictly for educational purposes and went on to say that Windows controls all copyright to its software. Faulds can’t guarantee that when you use the emulator that you won’t be infringing its rights.

While Microsoft no longer sells Windows 95 as a retail product, or still sells licenses or support for it, it is still very much protected by copyright law.

So, if Windows happens to send a cease and desist letter to Faulds, she’ll have to take the emulator down!
