Default Upgrade Windows ME

Is there a way to download/uppgrade my Win ME to another software
that is compatible?


Yes, although in many cases the first command before installing the new
operating system will be to FORMAT your hard drive. As to which of many
possible operating systems you choose to install dispends upon both the
capabilities of your hardware and your own preferences. If however you are
looking for a FREE upgrade that can be downloaded I would suggest you start
by looking at the various Linux based offerings available such as Ubuntu.

If by compatible you mean another Windows operating system then it is
possible that XP might run on your PC (details required) although you may
have difficulty in finding a legal copy for purchase as Microsoft now only
offers Vista in its various flavours and later this year, Windows 7.
Running Vista on Win Me era hardware however is at best problematic.
