Debuting on November 20, 1985, the inaugural rendition of Windows emerged as a graphical operating system shell designed for MS-DOS. This response was prompted by the escalating demand for graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Unveiled on August 24, 1995, Windows 95 marked a groundbreaking achievement for Microsoft, seamlessly amalgamating MS-DOS and Windows functionalities. This release rapidly ascended as the swiftest-expanding operating system and was subsequently succeeded by Windows 98 after a span of three years.
