People just like installing Windows 95 on every device that they can, but it really shows how far we have come in the last few decades with processing power and miniaturisation, it’s now possible to run Windows 95, sort of on the Apple Watch that shows how far we really have come, back in the 90s it would have required a bulky laptop or a huge desktop tower to do the same task.

But what we really are discussing is how Nick Lee installed the now ancient Windows 95 on his Apple Watch. Nick started by modifying the code of an existing WatchKit app to run an emulator, specifically Bochs x86. As you can see in the video operating the UI is tragically slow and really small, all though the touch screen can be used.

Nick Lee has also done this before, last year in managed to get the classic Mac OS 7.5.5 running also.
