You are correct, the 80286 was a 16-bit processor. You might have been able to run Win 95 on a 386, but a 486 was probably as low as you really wanted to go, and really a Pentium was needed to have a usable system.

I ran Windows 95 on a 486. It was... well, it worked. I can't imagine running a 386.

Win95 did run on 386, even with 4 MB of RAM. But you really did want at least 8 MB, otherwise it would just trash the disk swapping. Running it on Pentium with 16 MB RAM was great.
