How long is a piece of string ?

Is your hardware up to it ?
What types of application software do you use ? e.g. you may need to
back-up documents, spreadsheets, databases, photos, email address book, to
mention just a few, ...downloaded programs - perhaps bought online - that
may need to be reinstalled if "upgrade" doesn't go swimmingly !

What are you upgrading from, jeanz? From 95 to 98, from 3.1 to 98, from 98
to 98SE?

Regardless, it's *always* wise to back up your personal files. Normally, an
upgrade will leave them alone, but that's only "normally" and it's actually
rather common that you run into problems, and perhaps even need to reinstall
the system from scratch after reformatting the drive.

There are different ways we deal with these issues, depending on what you're
upgrading from and to, and how much disk space you have, how large is the
hard drives, etc. I'm assuming you don't have a CD burner?

Please tell us more details about your project.
