Operating System Requirements
Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR2.0/2.1
Both Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR2.0 support AGP cards, but to use all of the
AGP features, you must use Win95 OSR 2.1 or later.
To install Win95 OSR2.1, first install OSR2.0 and then upgrade to OSR2.1 with a
USB upgrade. On the April 1997 MSDN Disc-1 "Windows 95, SDKs, and Tools",
OSR2.0 is found in "\OSR2" while the USB upgrade is found in "\OSR2\USBUPP".
To determine the installed version of the operating system, look in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber
OSR2.1 has Version "Windows 95" and VersionNumber "4.03.1212" or "4.03.1214".
