This article was previously published under Q148682 SUMMARY
This article describes the differences between the Windows 95 Upgrade and
the non-upgrade (full) version of Windows 95. This article also lists the
directory contents of the Boot disk and the contents of the Config.sys and
Autoexec.bat files included with the non-upgrade version of Windows 95
distributed on 3.5-inch disks.
MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Windows 95 Upgrade to upgrade Windows version 3.0 or later
or Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or later to Windows 95. You must be
running MS-DOS, PC-DOS, or OEM-DOS version 3.1 or later to install the
Windows 95 Upgrade. Because the Windows 95 Upgrade does not include a
bootable floppy disk, you must be able to boot from the computer's hard
disk to install the Windows 95 Upgrade.
To install the non-upgrade (full) version of Windows 95, you do not need a
previous version of Windows, Windows for Workgroups, MS-DOS, PC-DOS, or
OEM-DOS. Because the non-upgrade version of Windows 95 includes a bootable
floppy disk, you do not need to be able to boot from the computer's hard
disk.
Contents of the Boot Disk
Note that although the label on the Boot disk indicates that it is a
Distribution Media Format (DMF) disk, it is actually a standard 1.44-MB
disk.
