* Is Windows 95 CDRW / Flashdrive compatible?
Windows 95 can read CDs no problem, and can write to them if you have the proper software installed.
Only Windows 95 OSR 2.1 and OSR 2.5 support USB flashdrive. Earlier versions don't.
* Can I install a floppy drive into Vista?
Yes!
* Can I install Vista into Windows 95?
