You should really reinstall Windows however as you said, you don't have the CD.

I would firstly try borrowing a Windows CD from a friend then using the same CD key on your current installation for the borrowed CD. You can use Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder (http://magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/) to get your current CD key.

Else you can use HDClone (http://www.miray.de/download/sat.hdclone.HTML) to duplicate your smaller hdd onto your larger one (assuming that's what you mean by a hard disk upgrade).

Remember to backup before performing any clone operations, even though it is only copying, weirder things have happened during read operations.

Since I know longer have a windows 95 disk I can't say for sure but I think it is around 50M to at most 100M. If you have the disk package it should say or the upgrade screen will probably tell you if you have enough. This is an old system and there is better stuff out there unless you have an old computer you want for some reason.

AFAIK, you don't, unless you use a CD-key for the full version while installing, however, that's pirating, and you may as well just go all out and download a prirated version of windows pro in that case. Not that i would recommend that.
