ReadySelectStart Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 What about Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited May 18, 2020 by ReadySelectStart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those RM machines and the BBC Micro we had definitely made school more enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think though I'm just an exception to the rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
