Upgrade Win98 to Win98 Second Edition
No.
Try eBay or a large computer store for a CD. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, "KANDO" wrote: Is there a download available on the MS website to upgrade to Second Edition ? |

Upgrade Win98 to Win98 Second Edition
No, you must buy the upgrade on CD. It is still available through some resellers
online...do a Google search. Be sure to get the Product Key along with the CD, and look for a retail upgrade version. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "KANDO" wrote in message ... Is there a download available on the MS website to upgrade to Second Edition ? |

You'll need a full, retail Win98SE CD or a Win98SE upgrade CD. Avoid OEM CDs since they won't upgrade an existing system. Microsoft neither makes nor sells these any more, so they are getting more difficult to find. Try a large computer retailer or eBay. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) |

Sounds quite illegal to me, Rick, especially considering this line on the 'How to pay' web page: "If sending payment yourself then DO NOT mention software in memo or subject of the payment or your payment will be refunded and the order cancelled." -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm |
