IBM PC - Upgrading to Microsoft Windows 95

Applicable to: World-Wide

What is Supported?
Microsoft Windows 95 is supported on current IBM Personal Computer Commercial Desktop models.

All IBM PC 100, PC 300, and PC 700 series models are Windows 95 compatible, which means that they have been tested by IBM to pass Microsoft's System Compatibility Test and that Microsoft has reviewed the test results and granted compatibility status. For more information on the test carried out, click here:

Additionally, some IBM PC 100, PC 300, and PC 700 series models are certified by Microsoft as "Designed for Windows 95" (known as "Logo certification"), which means that these IBM Personal Computers have been tested by Microsoft to ensure that Logo requirements are met. The "Designed for Windows 95" Logo certification applies to most IBM 486- and Pentium-based PC 100, PC 300, and PC 700 series models except PCI/Micro Channel models of the PC 700 series.

All IBM PC 100, PC 300, and PC 700 series models are Windows 95 compatible; however, IBM does not ensure that older IBM personal computer products, such as Personal System/2 or ValuePoint systems or other previous IBM system models, have been tested for compatibility with Windows 95.

Below is list of IBM Personal Computer Commercial Desktop models with Windows 95 Logo certification or compatibility status. This list will be updated as more models gain Logo certification or compatibility status.
