No the WIN95 disk will not work and if you can't find your
WIN98 disk the WINXP upgrade wont work you're better off
buying the Full version which will upgrade without asking
for any qualifying previous OS disk.

Hi Bert,

Thanks for the info. Just to be clear, if I cannot find
my
98 CD for the upgrade process, inserting my 95 CD will
work?

thanks again,

Peter

Hi Peter,

If this system was designed for Win98 I suggest
you take a look at the system requirements before
attempting the upgrade. And keep in mind, these
are the very bare minimum requirements.

Windows XP Home Edition System Requirements:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...luation/sysreq
s
..mspx

And no, it will not ask for a product key, it will ask
you to insert
the Win98 CD. The Win95 CD will also work.

To find your existing product key in Win98
Provided you still have Windows running (Normal or Safe
Mode)
run regedit.exe and look at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cu rrentVers
i
on\
Win98/WinME look for ProductKey in the right pane.

My system went from 95 to 98 and now I want to go to
XP.
The question is if I buy the XP Home upgrade rather
than
the full release, does it ask for my 98 licence key? I
have my 95 details but cannot find my 98 details.

thanks,

Peter
