laptop , the OS is windows 95, It uses 5" floppys and I
would like to convert it to 3.5" floppys, if this is
possible, where can I find the info. needed to convert,
or is it possible to somehow add one on? Thank-you

Laptops are very hard to upgrade or change equipment wise,
due to the proprietary nature of each manufacturer. If this was
a desktop PC there would be no problem, you would just swap
out the drives. There are, however, USB portable floppy drives
that you can move from PC to PC. However you need WIN98,
and if the Laptop is old enough to have a 5.25" drive, it likely
does not have USB ports anyway.
