2-2 Introducing the Software
WINDOWS INTRODUCTION
Your NEC Versa 6000 gives you the option of loading either Windows 95
or Windows for Workgroups to use on your system. During the initial sys-
tem start-up, selecting one operating system deletes the other. Both Micro-
soft operating systems provide a means of running applications, navigating

ing system offers its own look and tools.
Both Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups employ a graphical inter-
face to make the operating systems easy to use.
