Upgrade to Win98SE, Windows update question.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

There is no Web update, nor any combination of Windows Updates, that will
upgrade the original Windows 98 release to Windows 98 Second Edition.

Thanks,
If I do a new 98SE install, Will the install process be able to find a
previous version from a recovery disc?
All I have is an HP recovery disc for Win95, a Win98 upgrade that was put on
top of it, and now I'm going to Win98SE. I'd like to do the full install,
but don't know if it will see the data from a recovery disc for verification
of a previous version.

You can use an upgrade as proof of a previous version?
Wow, you learn something every day!
Thanks, I'm doing a fresh install then.
