What You Need before Starting
The Windows 95 setup takes up to 30 minutes.
Because of the way Windows 95 structures its
files, stopping in the middle of the setup
process can cause irreversible file damage.
Although the battery pack may have some
charge, it is probably insufficient for the entire
setup process. Loss of power during setup can
cause irreversible file damage.
You will need to enter the number from your
Windows 95 Certificate of Authenticity during
Windows 95 Setup. This certificate is part of the
Windows 95 documentation kit. You need this
number even if you are installing Windows for
Workgroups.
During initial setup you choose the following:
•
Language for Windows displays
•
Language for keyboard installed
Your language selection is final. You will not be
able to change the language after installation is
complete.
As part of the Windows setup, you are
prompted to choose a printer. Microsoft
includes the files for many different printers. If
you cannot find your printer in the list, you will
need the floppy disk with the printer driver
provided by the printer manufacturer. If you do
not want to install a printer at this time, you
can skip this part of the setup.
