I need 98 SE Upgrade. Unless comeone can explain how to use a Full Version 98 SE OEM as a Upgrade. Also WinMe Upgrade would be nice both of them. Yes both. There was a version of Win Me that cost 49.99 it was to be used to upgrade 98 and 98SE only. Then there was WinMe Upgrade for Win95. I had the 49.99 one but lost it when i moved. Its NOWHERE. Maybe the movers stold it.

    You can use the Windows 98se OEM disc to upgrade Windows95 and Windows 98fe. Just boot with the CD or bootdisk and delete the WIN.COM from C:\Windows then run the install. Heres the command.

    cd windows
    del win.com

    This will make the windows98se install overwrite the old installation thinking that there isn't a copy of windows installed already.. If you do not delete the WIN.COM file then it will see windows is still installed and will not install.

    AFAWK, it's also not sold in stores.
  • SlashSlash
    Obviously you don't know what is called ABW.
    Abandonware are products which are neither sold nor supported. WInMe is still supported.

    You can find Win98 in some stores. I saw it at Walmart for 89 bucks a few weeks ago.

    Uhhh... It's not on Walmart's website. And they got everything that they sell online and offline.

    More BS?

    And Windows XP upgrade is already like $99.
  • BODBOD
    might have been in the reduced section

    I can still find 95 in some warez shops

    Need to take a trip over there. Buy cheap, sell for more.

    I was trying to get two CD's off a Russian person and he said you pay $4 and get a CD full of MP3's at 192K

    Microsoft still supports Windows Update for 98. And it isn't abandonware.

    BTW NT 4.0 just became abandonware recently, so that part of WW is legit now.
