Well since your new PC (as you state *new*) came with XP, it is highly
unlikely that 95 will run on it with the newer hardware on it. it is also
very unlikely that you would be able to find legacy drivers that would
support your hardware to go back to 95.

Bu, if you want to try, go here;
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and download the bootdisk for 95, and
copy it to a floppy disk, if you don't have one. Then boot to the disk, and
use the utilities to remove XP, and reinstall 95.
