According to Microsoft, Windows 95 requires an 80386 processor, at least 4 MB of RAM, 50-55 MB of hard drive space (varies depending on components being installed), and an EGA, VGA, or better display adapter.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20041019021615/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138349</ref> Windows 95 drops support for the 80286 Standard mode and the Hercules and CGA display adapters. EGA display adapters are supported but not included in Windows 95. Windows 95 allows installation to be possible without a floppy drive via CD-ROM media, but this is only possible on select bootable OEM disks. A floppy drive is otherwise required for starting setup or if one wants to make a startup disk. | According to Microsoft, Windows 95 requires an 80386 processor, at least 4 MB of RAM, 50-55 MB of hard drive space (varies depending on components being installed), and an EGA, VGA, or better display adapter.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20041019021615/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138349</ref> Windows 95 drops support for the 80286 Standard mode and the Hercules and CGA display adapters.
