I have a Viglen Dossier laptop with 4MB RAM, and and i486 33MHz CPU. It currently runs MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. I would like to upgrade it to Windows 95, would it be able to run it at a good speed?

here are the min specs from microsoft:

Personal computer with a 386DX or higher processor (486 recommended)
4 megabytes (MB) of memory (8 MB recommended)
Typical hard disk space required to upgrade to Windows 95: 35-40 MB The actual requirement varies depending on the features you choose to install.
Typical hard disk space required to install Windows 95 on a clean system: 50-55 MB The actual requirement varies depending on the features you choose to install.
One 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive
VGA or higher resolution (256-color SVGA recommended)

I'd say go for it, it's not going to run very quickly, but it will run.
