You're pulling legs, right? Win98 can not be upgraded to Win7 no matter what
type version of Win7 you acquire.

I think DW is the same one who asked a number of years about
about installing XP on a Comodore 64

Assuming you're serious: Win98 cannot be upgraded to Win 7. You'd have
to have a full retail (or OEM) version and install from scratch. But
it's *extremely* unlikely that any machine that's still running win98
would be able to run Win7 well - maybe not at all.

As usual, just because you might find information that your system
would be minimally compatible, does not mean it will function to the
full extent of the new {Windows7} OS.

ALSO take due notice of the additional memory and CPU requirements to
run in *XP Mode* [if that is your intent].

*IF* you have older hardware and minimal memory, yet need a newer OS due
to some reason you have encountered [security, Flash, JAVA, other], it
might be time to look at the Linux compilations for something that suits
your needs.
