Solve : Windows 95 on a 20 GB hard drive??

Answer»

Can you install windows 95 on a computer with a 20 GB hard drive?Sure - see this for minimum requirements.

Good luck.I should have been more clear. I mean does Windows 95 support a hdd as big as 20 gbs? P.S. I'm on the web on a CELL phone.Is that not like asking: How long is a piece of string?

It shouldn't matter.

However, you may want to look at Markp62's POST (second post) here:
http://www.windowsbbs.com/windows-95-98-me-nt/75709-win95-hard-drive-size.htmlIf i get windows 95 or 95a can you still use a 20 gb hd and not have acsess to more than 2 gb or would you not be able to use that hdd at all? Win95 and 95a have to be installed on a 2 GB (or smaller) partition. The rest of the drive can be accessed if you split the whole thing into 10 partitions of 2 GB each. I remember having to do this back in the day when I got my first 8 GB hard drive.

Aaaah, the memories . . . .Thanks. 3 more questions. 1. What is registering windows? 2. How do you do it? 3. Do you have to register windows 95?Registration is normally done over the Internet. Windows 95 is kinda pre-Internet, so you don't have to register it. But what is registration?From Microsoft.

Product activation is different from product registration because activation is required and registration is optional. If you want to register Windows XP by providing your name, e-mail address, and other contact information, you can ALSO choose to receive information about product updates and other special offers.

So registration is completely optional. Activation, on the other hand, is not for Windows XP and Vista. No need to worry about activation for Windows 95. (It didn't start until XP.)

So let me get this right. Registration is completley optional on all windows OS'es. Activation though, is required, and only even possible on Win XP and above. Correct?Win95; Win98; Win98SE; WinME : Keycode required from original CD package to install/Run properly.

Win2K; Win2KServer WinNT: Same as above activation/registration optional.

WinXPHome and Pro : Activation required...registration optional.

Vista : Same as above.
