@jdd Many thanks for the guidance. I downloaded the Windows 95 for VirtualBox.7z file. It contains the following: /Logs /Snapshots Windows 95.vbox Windows 95.vbox-prev Windows 95.vdi
In Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager I added the downloaded Windows 95.vbox I see a new virtual button labeled Windows 95 which is switched off. If I hit the Start button, a VirtualBox Error message window appears, telling: No new session could be opened for the Windows 95 virtual machine. Details: The virtual machine 'Windows 95' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

and in an additional pop-up window, labeled VirtualBox - Error In suplibOsInit:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing
'/sbin/vboxconfig'
as root.
If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.
What to do next?
I ran into something like this not too long ago. My problem was caused by "Secure Boot" being enabled in the UEFI bios. I normally turn off secure boot, but I tried to install Win-10 first and didn't realize that Win-10 turns on secure boot even if it doesn't know the bios password! See if you can access the bios and turn off secure boot. This will allow the operating system to load unsigned kernel modules. I suppose doing this might decrease your security posture, but its not a big concern for Linux in my humble opinion. You could always turn it back on again after you've solved your archive issue. Good luck! Regards, Lew
