Hey all,

I am from the YouTube channel ReadySelectStart. Came across this forum when looking for a USB driver for Win95 OSR2.5. Seems like a great community that I am looking forward to being part of :)

Been a huge user of Windows since 1994. I have used 3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8 and of course 10. 

What about Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT?

I think my primary school(elementary) had Windows NT, but I cannot remember so omitted it

EDIT: Just searched the the computers they had were RM Nimbus (Unsure of the specific model). They seemed to have shipped with MS DOS or Windows 3.0, though I'm sure I recall seeing the NT splash screen? We are talking 25 odd years ago now though

He may know, though - at first sight - the specs of actual "Nimbus" models were too low to run NT 4.00, maybe they were computers from RM but not anymore "Nimbus", most probably new models belonging to the newish "RM connect":

Welcome to the MSFN!

Feel free to try out the best operating system around, Windows 2000.

Thank you  I did briefly own a HP Omnibook that ran Windows 2000. I cannot recall it very well other than it being like Windows Me but stable. How comes you like 2000 so much? For me the best versions of Windows ever would be 98SE, XP, 7 and 10. I know the latter is controversial.

RM Connect rings a bell, I doubt my school would even know if I reached out to them. But those RM machines and the BBC Micro we had definitely made school more enjoyable.

You must be joking. 

It belongs to self-evident truths that Windows 2000 has been the best MS OS ever.

That's some great meta right there. I think though I'm just an exception to the rule. 

From Belgium, hello @ReadySelectStart and welcome to MSFN!
I hope you enjoy the forums!
Have a nice day.
