Microsoft Windows 95 OS OEM Program Materials (Book, Cert, CD, Flppy for sale in Bourbonnais, Illinois

The pictures show you what you're getting. I photo what I ship!
I had this Windows 95 Certificate of Authenticity sitting on my shelf collecting dust. It's legit and ready to authenticate a Win95 installation, but I'd lost the disks that came with it. I had another full set (Booklet with Certificate, Win95 CD (copyright 1997) "with USB Support," and one Win95 boot floppy), so I used those and cloned a CD and floppy for this Certificate.
As you see from the screenshot of a computer just booted by the floppy and listing the root directory of the burned CD, the files are dated 05-01-97. Couple that with the fact that the CD I used to burn the clone had "USB Support" stenciled on it leads me to believe this is at least an OSR2 disk, which supported FAT32 formatting, AGP cards, and IRQ steering (among other improvements in the OSR2 release). I cannot speak from certainty, but I line out the evidence for my belief.
The reason for TWO floppies is so that if one looses its data (even magnetic material is subject to senility!), you have another. They are dupes. The reason you need a floppy is because Win95 CDs were not bootable (I know, I know - hard to believe. That luxury would arrive with the Win98 CDs).
Here's the procedure:
Turn computer OFF
Floppy in floppy drive
Turn computer ON
Make sure it boots from floppy (likely drive A: as pictured)
Put Win95 CD in CDROM and close the tray
At A: type whatever the drive letter (and colon) of the CDROM is (in the picture it's S:)
At the CDROM's drive letter prompt (in the picture it would be S:) type setup
...and away you go!
If you have some vintage hardware and are looking for its appropriate software partner, then this offering is for you.
