I'm too far away from a windows machine for far too long. Is it possible to run Windows 98 on modern hardware especially when no one would be shipping any drivers?
Also, what's the use case for it?
Lastly, wondering if MS still sells Windows 98 if someone needs because of some specific reason.
Yes, actually! Search for user "O_MORES". They're active on Reddit and possibly Vogons. They have successfully dual booted Windows 98 and Windows 10/11 on modern hardware. The key is to use a supported PCI/PCIe graphics, audio, and network cards then slot them into a modern motherboard. The sheer speed of modern hardware makes up for a lot of shortcomings.
For use cases - for me at least, it's for fun, nostalgia, and because I enjoy diving deeper into old hardware and OSs that I didn't have the experience to when they were new. Everyone has their own reasons, but I think this is a common one.
No need to buy Windows 98 anymore though, clean known-good OEM ISOs are available on WinWorldPC along with accompanying product keys.
