Windows 95 build 499

This build is one of the final June Test Release builds of Windows 95. Like the builds before it, it does not have any new features and focuses mainly on bug fixes. It has been only leaked as an English Upgrade copy in a 1.44 MB floppy format, though a German build on CD-ROM also exists.

Installation Notes

 * Aside from some problems when the CPU clock speed is too high (above 2.1 GHz is a common estimate), 499 is quite stable and easy to install. However, it only allows an upgrade, so you need to upgrade from Windows 3.1 or an older build. If you wish to install it on a hypervisor, make sure to disable all acceleration features to avoid the above-mentioned problems.


 * During the upgrade, the default owner name is set to 'Toni L Lynch'. You cannot change it during setup.
