Hello,
I've got a computer that had Windows 98SE. I had to format the
harddrive due to kids getting a nasty virus, and I'd like to buy
WinXP Pro Upgrade version to install instead of 98SE. However, my
problem is that I no longer have the Windows 95 disk that is needed to
do my Windows 98 upgrade. So, that said, here's the question: Do I
need to actually install Windows 98 before inserting the WinXP disk
and upgrading? Or, will it allow me to start a clean install of WinXP
but insert the Win98 disk to show that I had a previous OS (like the
Windows 98 upgrade version install did)? Thanks for any input.
