Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / October 2003Upgrade Win98 SE with XP
I understand that I can run the( windows ME (XP upgrade) CD over Win98SE. I know that I will lose 98 operating system , but I have the Win98 CD so I can reload win98 if I mess up the the upgrade. I have copied files to an external hard drive. Assuming I run the upgrade properly. Will this approach produce XP on my hard drive? Yes, it will assuming all the applications are compatible with XP as well as all your devices. Make sure you have the product key for win98 before starting. It is easy to obtain if the system is installed. Once upgraded it cannot be obtained anymore. Just insert the XP CD while running win98 and start setup. It is always a good idea to have backup of important data you do not want to loose. There are no guarantees  SignatureJon Hildrum DTS MVP Jon_Hildrum@msn.com www.hildrum.com > I understand that I can run the( windows ME (XP upgrade) CD over Win98SE.
