If your hardware supports I would go to XP. While win95 cannot be upgraded,
the win95 disk will serve as a qualifying product for a winXP upgrade.

You can still find win98SE some places. You may try here:
www.pricewatch.com

Check under software operating systems.

Note you need the retail upgrade version or the retail full version for
upgrading. The OEM version (most available was designed for a clean install
and may not let you upgrade).

Another potential location is ebay.
