Default Adding Microsoft Word & Works 2002 to Windows 98

I got a secondhand laptop that has a Windows 98 operating system. I tried
putting on my Windows 2002 Word & Works and it worked. There are a few
quirks but I've solved them. Actually, I was afraid of removing the
operating system. I have the Windows 2002 operating system CD but I've
never installed an operating system. My question is: if everything is
alright, can I add the 2002 to the 98 operating system? Or should I start
all over, remove the 98 operating system and put in the Windows XP operating
system for the programs that I'm used to on my regular computer?

I think you are confusing the operating system (Windows 98 or Windows XP)
with the application (WORD or Works). Check the exact version of the
application that you have.

Word 2002 is also known as version 10. It is compatible with Windows 98, but
it might overload your hardware.

Chances are the version of XP (or W2K--I am not clear on which) will not
work with your laptop since operating systems for laptops are highly
customized. I'd leave well enough alone
