Microsoft released Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) on May 5, 1999. The biggest feature of this version is that multiple computers on the network can share the Internet connection using a single phone line connection.

You can follow these steps to install the Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) version on the virtual machine on your Windows 11 computer.

Step 1: First of all, to run a virtual computer on your Windows computer, install VMware 17 Pro by visiting the link below.

Step 2: After installing the Workstation software on your system, download the #Windows98SE ISO file used in this video tutorial from the link below.

Step 3: After downloading the Microsoft 98SE ISO file to your computer, run the #VMware virtualization program.

Step 4: Click Create a New Virtual Machine from the options on Workstation 17 Pro's homepage.

Step 5: In the New Virtual Machine Wizard window, to configure the virtual computer with more detailed settings, select Custom (Advanced) and click Next.

Step 6: In the VMware VM compatibility window, select the version of Workstation (5.x) installed on your system and then click the Next button.

NOTE: You need to change the hardware version later for driver installation.

Step 7: In the Guest operating system selection window, select I will install the operating system later and continue.

Step 8: In the Guest Operating System window, select "Windows 98" for the second version and click Next.

Step 9: In the Name and Platform window, type a name for Win98SE and choose a location on your external hard drive for the installation location or use the default location.

Step 10: In the Firmware Type window, select BIOS for Win98SE and continue.

Step 11: In the Processor window, set 1 processor and 1 core number for the Win98SE virtual machine and continue.

Step 12: In the Memory window, configure a maximum supported RAM size of 1 GB for Windows 98 Second Edition.

Step 13: In the Network Type window, select the NAT type to use a different IP block from your host's IP block and continue.

Step 14: Select the Paravirtualized SCSI disk controller for the I / O Controller and click Next.

Step 15: Select the IDE disk in the Select a Disk Type window and click Next.

Step 16: In the Select a Disk window, select Create a New Virtual Disk and click Next to create a new disk for a clean system configuration.

Step 17: In the Specify Disk Capacity window, configure the size of the virtual disk for Win98SE and check the Store virtual disk option to back up as a single file type instead of multiple files on your host and continue.

Step 18: After creating a new virtual machine for Win98SE, add the ISO file you downloaded to your computer to the virtual machine.

Step 19: Click the Power on this virtual machine button and run the VM. Then, at the boot screen, press Boot from Hard Disk CD-ROM and then Enter on Start Windows 98 Setup from CD-ROM. After the installation has started, follow our video tutorial to install Win98SE on the VM.

Step 20: After installing the Windows 98 SE system, click VM / Install VMware Tools from the menu. Click Next in the installation wizard and then select the installation type as Complete to install VM Tools and restart your VM for the changes to take effect.

Step 21: After installing VMware Tools, you can transfer files between your host and your guest machine and use the host's hardware.

Hey, I have a question, why do not you do guides with AMD Ryzen processors are already from 2017, and they had from the very beginning, especially for those times a lot of cores and now have great popularity. Most configurations are the same as on an Intel CPU and work the same as not better, but there are always problems with Windows 98.
