Hello,

I have a PC with Win98 Italian version installed. I would like to install
the English version.

Question is: Do I need to format the drive and install fresh or can I
re-install English over the top?

Thanks

Marc

You must reformat and instal afresh. Otherwise the
Windows error messages etc. would be in Italian.

You can fresh (format) install or you can install to a different folder per
the article below. What you cannot do is install over the top of the
existing system.
