'''Windows 95''' is an operating system created by Microsoft, released in August 1995. Support ended on December 2001.

QEMU has a lot of problems running Windows 95 - it tends to be glitchy at times and sometimes BSODs or crashes. Also, due to the old age of Windows 95 (it was released in {{Date|1995}}), practically no modern programs will run on it. It is recommended to run [[How to install Windows 98 in QEMU|Windows 98]] instead, since it is able to run KernelEx, (which is capable of running a few modern programs), is more stable, and can generally run pretty much all the programs Windows 95 can and more.▼
The Windows 9x series has a slight problem running on QEMU out of the box, and that is the mouse. The mouse will be off position from the host mouse. This is due to Windows 95 having no USB support at all. However, special USB 1.1 drivers are known to exist for Windows 95B, so if you can find drivers for USB 1.1, then the mouse will function smoothly.
 
QEMU also has some problems running Windows 95 itself - it tends to be glitchy at times and sometimes BSODs or crashes, but this happens rarely and its not unusable.
