Windows 95 build 90c

Windows 95 build 90c is an internal Milestone 6 build of Windows 95. The build was originally scene-leaked and considered lost, but was later found and shared on BetaArchive by Battler on 17 November 2017. It is a re-compile of build 90, based on the letter following the build number.

This build of Chicago can also be upgraded from previous versions of Windows. A Beta ID and Password is required to install this build and build 81's Beta ID and Password can be used to install this build.

Windows 94 reference
This build is the only known build of Microsoft Chicago that includes a reference to Windows 94. A dialog used by setup mentioning Windows 94 was discovered by the BetaArchive member ComputerHunter. This find is interesting as the first build to use Windows 95 branding was build 189, which was compiled six months after build 90c.

This find also suggest Chicago was planned to be called Windows 94 in the first part of 1994. It's also possible this was one of a few final names considered at the time.
