A Windows 95 boot disk image (a diskette image can be downloaded from here).This tutorial uses an ISO image of Windows 95 OSR 2.1. This can either be an original CD or an ISO image. A copy of Windows 95 (and it’s Licence Key).This tutorial uses VirtualBox Version 5.2.6 (for Windows hosts) with the VirtualBox 5.2.6 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack installed (both can be downloaded from here).
While Windows 95 can be installed using the popular MS-DOS emulator DOSBox, Oracle’s VirtualBox offers an alternative, and for later versions (such as Windows 98) is essential. Likewise, if you find anything else please comment as I’m sure anyone reading will appreciate further insights that have otherwise been missed. However I can see people have been contibuting some useful comments below in my absense which might help out if you’re getting stuck. Personally I’ve not had need of a Windows 95 VM for a while as I’m focusing on DOS gaming. but I still think this tutorial mostly holds up. Update: February 2022 – It’s been a few years since I wrote this tutorial and I understand things have probably moved on a bit with VirtualBox and the available drivers etc.
