i need help to switch windows 95 to 98. what do i need to do? What Windows 98 cd disk do you have (retail, OEM, upgrade, Second Edition update)? What Windows 95 version is installed (OEM or retail)? How fast is your CPU? How much RAM? > i need help to switch windows 95 to 98. > what do i need to do? I've same type of question. I've Packerd Bell with Intel 233 MHz, 64MB RAM, CD drive, Windows 95 (don't OEM or retail - it came with the computer that I bought 5 years ago from CompUSA). Any idea what should I look for when buy the win98se from the eBay/Internet. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. >-----Original Message----- >What Windows 98 cd disk do you have (retail, OEM, upgrade, Second Edition [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >. You probably have the OEM version of Windows 95. I suggest you seek out a full install retail disk of Windows 98 Second Edition, and then do a clean install, but do a backup first if you want to save anything. Microsoft no longer markets W9X, so try eBay. Your hardware is adequate for W98 (but not for XP), and will run better with more RAM. I suggest you add at least another 64 MB if your motherboard will allow it. Make sure you buy the correct type of RAM (check your motherboard manual). > I've same type of question.

I just saw an ad on eBay something like this: ""Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition Full OEM Version, Sealed".". Can I buy this to upgrade my Win95 to win98se?

As I said, look for a full install RETAIL version. > I just saw an ad on eBay something like this: ""Microsoft > Windows 98 Second Edition Full OEM Version, Sealed".".

A large number of very cheap Microsoft Software (like Windows XP Professional=$39, Windows Server 2003=$24.00 etc...) is being sold that comes from Eastern Europe and will not have any support to it. So....I would not get it. ==  SignatureTedd Riggs > I just saw an ad on eBay something like this: ""Microsoft > Windows 98 Second Edition Full OEM Version, Sealed".".
