Question Windows 95 and Quicktime compatible setup

[mikemag]

I have some vintage collectable software that would be cool to run if possible.
It was designed for Windows 95 and uses Quicktime.
I have Windows 10 and I tried to install it with compatibility mode but it would not run the install program.

short of setting up a VM and getting a copy of Win 95 and Quicktime, what other options are there ?

That is your only option and even then you will have to do extra steps to make the GPU show up as anything other then a basic vesa display.
There are also online win95 emulators if you want to try that out.

Thanks, you gave me the direction I did not realize was available. I will dig deeper in that direction.

Nothing beats a working vintage computer that shipped with W95. I'd look for a used Compaq, Toshiba, or Gateway desktop to run your W95 programs. They can be found for cheap. Good luck!
