Windows 9x refers to a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft . The series includes Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME, released between 1995 and 2000. These systems were designed as hybrid 16-bit/32-bit operating systems, combining elements of earlier MS-DOS-based versions with newer graphical interfaces.
Windows 9x introduced features such as Plug and Play hardware support, improved multitasking, and enhanced multimedia capabilities . The series marked a shift toward consumer-oriented computing, integrating internet connectivity and supporting a broader range of hardware devices. It served as a transitional platform between older DOS-based systems and later NT-based Windows versions.
The final release in the Windows 9x line, Windows ME, launched in September 2000 . Microsoft subsequently replaced the series with Windows XP, which was based on the more stable Windows NT kernel.
