Windows 95 can be removed from a computer by using the procedures described in the following section. If the computer is configured for dual booting, you will be left with the previous versions of MS-DOS and Windows 3.x intact. If you upgraded Windows 3.x, then you will need to reinstall Windows 3.x after Windows 95 is removed.
The recommended method for removing Windows 95 is to start the computer and use the F8 key to get to a command line, as described in the following procedure. When this is done, real-mode Windows 95 operating system files start the computer. If you encounter problems starting Windows 95 in this way, start your computer from the previous operating system (which may require using a floppy disk).
