For some people, they might find the overall Windows 95 aesthetic more pleasing. For me personally, I find it easier to focus on the work I’m doing. Disabling notifications, reducing colors to greys, simple colored wallpapers. Even the sharper pixels and other special visual features removed can increase a computers speed slightly. You can even play older games on your newer computer thanks to programs like DOSBox, WineD3D and services like GOG.

I compiled a list of things to change in Windows 10 to help your computer look more like a vintage Windows 95 machine.
