When Windows 95 first came out, some people wanted to put it on their old 286 and 386 machines. There was an undocumented switch that told setup not to run in the 32-bit mode. Can anyone remember what the switch letter was?

I personally could not imagine running win95 on a 286,I mean I knew people running 3.1 on a 286 and it was slow as hell.
I never heard of that switch but I just had to comment on the 286-win95 thing.

I haven't heard of that switch either. Have heard of the ones that disable memory checks, disk space check, and creating a setup disk.
setup /nm will get you around the system requirements. i will check on 32 bit mode and get back to you.
Thanks Newgrl that might be what I am looking for.
windows 95 is a 32 bit OS and will not run in 16 bit since it was optimized for 32 bit operation and all the coding is 32 bit with support for the older 16 bit apps
I don't think it will run on a 16 bit CPU https://forums.windrivers.com/
