Build 405 is the February 1995 Test Release, picking up from where the 31x-33x series of builds left off. This build does not have many changes over those builds. It merely updates the icons and fixes some bugs. It's an upgrade version and therefore requires an earlier version of Windows already installed.

This build is interesting in that while it is dated later than build 331, it is dated earlier than build 337. You can even upgrade to build 337 from it. It also features a boot screen where the edge changes colors from red to blue while loading. This boot screen is not featured in any other leaked build.
This build is interesting because while it's newer than build 331, it's also older than build 337. You can even upgrade to build 337 from it. It's not known at the moment why this build was branched off into the 4xx range from build 33x.

The most notable feature of this build is a unique bootscreen not seen in any other leaked build, where the edge of the screen changes color from red to blue and vice versa while the OS is starting.

Build 405 is the February 1995 Test Release, picking up from where the 31x-33x series of builds left off. It does not feature many changes over those builds, as it merely updates the icons and fixes some bugs. It's an upgrade version and therefore requires an earlier version of Windows already installed.

This build is interesting because while it's newer than build 331, it's also older than build 337. You can even upgrade to build 337 from it. It's not known at the moment why this build was branched off into the 4xx range from build 33x.

The most notable feature of this build is a unique bootscreen not seen in any other leaked build, where the edge of the screen changes color from red to blue and vice versa while the OS is starting.
