Requirements for Windows 95 Setup

Usually, you need to supply very little information during Windows 95 Setup for a successful Windows 95 installation. The unique information required for a typical installation consists only of the following (which can be predefined in a custom setup script):

• User name
• Computer and workgroup names, if the computer is connected to the network

Windows 95 Setup needs at least 417K of conventional memory to run. The amount of disk space required for Windows 95 Setup varies, due to the types of hardware on the computer, the required drivers, and the optional components installed.
