Windows 95 has been out of our minds for a very long time. With smartwatches being the new thing it looks like someone was actually able to get Windows 95 to run on a smartwatch, the Samsung Gear Live.

Samsung's Gear Live Smartwatch Running Windows 95

YouTuber Corbin Davenport did something very cool with his Samsung Gear Live, he was able to get Windows 95 to run on it! You might be asking yourself why? But hey, why not! Davenport was able to get Windows 95 to run on Android Wear by using aDosBox, which is a free app available for download on Google Play.

Davenport does get Windows 95 up and running successfully on his Samsung Gear Live, but it does have some weird behavior. While he can navigate the menus and desktop in Windows 95 using the touch input on the Gear Live if you go to run an application it will crash because of lack of RAM.

This is still a pretty cool hack and if you like things like this check out Davenports other videos, he has got DOOM and Minecraft PE both to run on his Gear Live as well.
