hey guys. so to start I got a new laptop for xmas. so naturally being a 90s kid. I would like to downgrade my old one to windows 98? I think it is. I want to go back so that I can play pajama sam and backyard football and backyard baseball and rollercoaster tycoon . so my question is, whats the best way to go about doing this? or is there a better way to do this that I'm not seeing? should I just go to windows site and download the version I need.?? this is all I will use the laptop for so I don't care about not being able to do anything except play my games

Virtual Machine would be your best way to go.

I am pretty sure you can't install windows 98 onto a modern computer. However you could use a virtual machine (VM) which will work just fine.

Looking through the comments 512mb or ram seems to be the max for which windows 98 can handle.

Install Virtual box, download Windows 98 .ISO, launch the ISO in virtual box.

There are some tutorials on youtube on how to use virtualbox
