From an NEC perspective, the Windows PC platform is any computer capable of running the Microsoft Windows operating system, typically Windows 95 and newer. The Windows operating system is so ubiquitous among computers that it can be safely assumed that a "PC" is a Windows PC unless specifically stated otherwise.

Windows 95 is seen as the catalyst which spurred Windows to become the dominant operating system across all computer platforms. Windows was originally designed for IBM PC compatible hardware, but the vast differences between Windows and the then-dominant operating system, DOS, means "games for Windows" are typically treated differently than "games for DOS".

For the purposes of simplicity, NEC Retro considers the IBM PC line and Windows PCs as two separate platforms. Offshoots such as Windows CE, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, and others are also treated as separate platforms.
