Now Microsoft's twenty-year-old operating system has made its appearance on the Apple Watch.
Of course, it doesn't make any sense to pair these two together, since Windows 95 is a terrible operating system for a smartwatch and the Apple Watch is too small for a desktop computer. Nevertheless, there's no doubt that the result is impressive.

With its 520MHz processor and 512MB of RAM, the Apple Watch packs plenty of power for Windows 95. According to Nick Lee, who is the originator of this hack, the processor is 20 times faster than the average desktop CPU in the 90s.
[su_quote]"As a result, I felt confident that the Apple Watch had the capability to run one of the most respected desktop operating systems ever produced!", Lee writes on his blog, and he was right![/su_quote]

The biggest challenge behind this hack (as with other Apple devices) was running unofficial software on the Apple Watch. And while there's plenty of power, the fact that it's Windows 95 emulated makes it slower (it takes an hour to boot).
If you want to try it out for yourself, you can check out the instructions on Lee's blog here. You'll also find many of the files you need on GitHub here.
