Some of the application version of Windows 95 is equipped with nostalgic software such as WordPad, MS paint, Minesweeper, and that all will work as expected. However, Internet Explorer seems to be unable to load pages and not function.

The size of the application is only 129 MB, and it is said that about 200 MB of RAM (memory) is consumed even when system utilities, software, games etc. are executed at the same time, storage and memory are much lower than today's You can feel the remnant of the era.
