Nice! Now i have Windows 98 Second Edition in my vmware workstation.

Now normally I am a quiet guy when it comes to reviews on this site (y'know, busy and all that) but I just have to warn you guys that the link down below from "PaulaFox" is a scam and completely out of left field. And now onto the review for Windows 98 itself - the ISO works perfectly fine! One problem - I have to use the product key given in the comments below instead of the one in the description, but otherwise does exactly as wanted.

Scroll up and see the picture on the top! It will show the product key right on it! archive.org

Ruth Ellen keeps posting flagged links. Damn her!

Don't use the shorten link, it's a scam.

Check DOWNLOAD OPTIONS on the right.

nice

I have performed a (illegal operation) apperantly. It couldn't find SHELL32.dll and an app called "Explorer" performed the illegal opperation. Need help

Stop the spam. You want money from shortened links, scam sites, and some more scams from a link on archive.org.

It doesn't help anyone. It wonk make enough money to make you "rich quick".

Windows 98 is a consumer-oriented operating system developed by Microsoft as part of its Windows 9x family of Microsoft Windows operating systems. The second operating system in the 9x line, it is the successor to Windows 95, and was released to manufacturing on May 15, 1998, and generally to retail on June 25, 1998. Like its predecessor, it is a hybrid 16-bit and 32-bit[3] monolithic product with the boot stage based on MS-DOS.[4]

Windows 98 is a web-integrated operating system that bears numerous similarities to its predecessor. Most of its improvements were cosmetic or designed to improve the user experience, but there were also a handful of features introduced to enhance system functionality and capabilities, including improved USB support and accessibility, as well as support for hardware advancements such as DVD players. Windows 98 was the first edition of Windows to adopt the Windows Driver Model, and introduced features that would become standard in future generations of Windows, such as Disk Cleanup, Windows Update, multi-monitor support, and Internet Connection Sharing.

Microsoft had marketed Windows 98 as a "tune-up" to Windows 95, rather than an entirely improved next generation of Windows. Upon release, it was generally well-received for its web-integrated interface and ease of use, as well as its addressing of issues present in Windows 95, although some pointed out that it was not significantly more stable than its predecessor. Windows 98 sold an estimated 58 million licenses and saw one major update, known as Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), released on May 5, 1999. After the release of its successor, Windows Me in 2000, mainstream support for Windows 98 and 98 SE ended on June 30, 2002, followed by extended support on July 11, 2006.

NO MORE $19 FORTNITE CARD?????????

I Like Windows 98! It's Nice But It Does Not Give Me Any Flashbacks Cause I Never Used Real Windows 98 In My Entire Life! But Only One Problem, When I Tried To Install VBox Add-ons I Needed To Get A DLL File But I Could Not Get To The Internet Because Of The Stupid MSN Network Connect And I Have To Buy An Old, Old Old Old Modem From 1999 To Get Internet And I Want To Skip MSN But I Could Not! But At Least I Could Use The Other Parts But The Problem Was That The Monitor Resolution Was Small And I Could Not Make It Up To Any Higher! But It's Still Good!

Windows 98/95/ME are 32 bit OS's for the x86 architecture. DOS 6.22 and earlier are 16 bit OS's also designed for the x86 architecture. Windows 3.11 and earlier are 16 bit GUI's for DOS. Windows 3.1 and 3.11 have limited 32 bit support when installed on a machine with a 32 bit processor.

The iso worked for me first try on my MacBook Air.
Note that Windows 98 was not x64 or x86/x32! Windows 98 was x16. I think all of Windows 9x was x16.

I be Using this On Hyper-V, Hyper-V is More Better then VMware or VirtualBox

Jabril, the key in the description worked for me but not for you? How?

I just tried that product key on Vmware workstation it didn't work.

im gonna install this on a virtual machine because i wanna play half life 1 how it was originaly intended to be installed

i tried installing this on my old computer but there were a number of files missing. dont use this on a real pc unless you just wanna install it without actually using it.

Как скачать Windows 98 ima фаел

This may be because you bring too much memory to the opreating system, this happened to me before, if its still has errors i dont know how to fix

I am not sure how this has stayed up as long as it has, but without even downloading you can see that this is not for Windows 98 SE, but just the regular edition of Windows 98. I have it downloaded and installed on an old computer, and I can verify that it is regular 98. You dont even have to download and install this to know that the title is BS. Just view the contents of the ISO and you can see that it does not contain the installed for 98SE. Whoever uploaded this just changed the name to Windows 98 SE for some reason.

Got this installed and working just fine on VirtualBox. To anyone getting an illegal operation error during installation, try disabling hardware virtualization in the settings. Fixed the problem for me!

PikaMatt07Official it wasn't uploaded by Microsoft it was uploaded by ComputerGeek64

Running with AMD, and found this guide that might help:

The serial works but I don't really understand what the individual has done with the ISO. Is it a faulty copy? Is it a broken makeshift job to 'enhance' or remove something from the OS? I'm not sure.

Because while I can get through setup, as it occasionally throws error messages up, it stops me at the screen where you're about to load your desktop. And it freezes after seeing the Explorer illegal operation.

Soooo, yeah, I think the serial has a use. ISO? Not so much.

I Try to Use this Key it works

While in setup the illegal operation error kept popping up and idk why

It works, I tried on microsoft virtual pc 2007

Thank you very much, it will help me install on my old Dell Dimension L700cxe, alongside Windows 2000/XP.


Specs of machine:

64 MB of RAM (soon upgrading to 256 MB)
Intel Celeron 700Mhz
Intel 810 Series Chipset

After Windows 98 formats your drive, you have to exit, open MS-DOS on the CD, copy files from the WIN98 folder to the hard drive, go to the hard drive, and type "setup /p j"

there was error messages saying stuff about illegal operations and it never load the desktop

There is no way Microsoft gave us such a legendary operating system WITH THE PRODUCT KEY! Thank you Microsoft, it works well too!

It's very important to me to use this O.S, because it brings me my best childhood memories. Thank you for letting me experience this Microsoft!

Works on limbo pc emulator

it no work
now i am sad :(

I Tested It In Vritualbox And It Worked Until Restarting Your PC

Works. Tested on DOSBox Pure.

Ryzen users: you must patch Windows 9x TLB Invalidation Bug first.
Google JHRobotics patcher9x.
Works fine after that.

Cool

is super cool!

Fantastic! Works great on Virtualbox!

Tested successfully in Virtualbox. This appears to be an untouched/unedited iso.

Does this work with VirtualBox?

doesnt work

Many thanks for the upload and share as ISO's of other sources haven't worked. Yours worked.

Thanks for uploading, Windows 98 works in VM Ware Player 16 and also the key works just fine!

The file worked

So I just downloaded this ISO and installed it on VMWare Workstation and it works 100%

After Installing everything it wont go further than an error message.

FYI, All the Windows OS before XP that was Windows 95, 98 2000, and ME were all 32-bit OS. It was since Windows XP that 64-bit Windows came into life.

is this a x86 version of windows 98 se? the file don't said 86x or 64x





















































































































































in that time i was installing the version

I love how it works without a hitch no matter what you use it for thank you for listing this with product key

This works in VirtualBox and I am happy it came with the product key! I have never had a problem with it until today. While installing it, it just said it performed an illegal operation. This is the first time I have ever seen it happen. Other than that, this is great!

Since you uploaded the ISO, I can finally boot it to VMware!
WayBack Machine might be an option.... but thanks for uploading it!

it keeps saying it performed an illegal operation and theres nothing i can do about it, is there way to fix

going 2 go install dis on an old gateway laptop

Works perfectly fine on Virtualbox if you know what you're doing. All these other reviews are wrong.

Lol

DANK U NOW I GIT TO EXPEEREANCE MY MOMS CHILEDHUUD

it actually works in my virtualbox

OMG!!!!!!!!! This So Useful TO Me Now My 7th gen core i5 laptop Is Now So Fast NOw

a

It don't work on VBOX

This OS Is Great. I Used This On My Dad's Old Laptop As A Kid. Now Installing This On My Slow Laptop.

The guy below me is indeed correct because I use PCem for all my windows versions that run off of MS-DOS. Please don't be an idiot. Get PCem and use that instead for windows versions that run off of MS-DOS!!!

this sucks so f*cking much it doesnt even work on virtualbox

Product key worked, and speedy install with VirtualBox.

Great requires no start-up files.

That is really all you can say for the iso. I am booting up windows 98 on a virtual machine right now, and it is working, so great iso if you are looking for the iso.

Request Samsung Magic Station M6300 Recovery CD (Windows 98 SE(Korean Ver.))

It says shell32 dll is missing when download drivers

Thank you so much! Been working on a video but I couldn't
for the life of me find a bootable windows 98 iso! Your awesome!

Your friendly neighborhood Windows Enthusiast

Its very great if you want to reinstall a broken windows 98 SE or just want a VM instead then its good! But there a problem. Its in a CD-ROM type so it makes it harder to setup due to the VM type windows 98 SE setup only reading the floppy disks. So its great but due to the problem it could do some fixing.

Yep, this works perfect for a Virtual Machine or just for install in old Hardware.

I downloaded the iso from somewhere else but the code works. thanks

It's very good i like it

Nice, totally recommend this.

LOL IT IS SON GOOD
