go to microsoft.com and download the Windows XP iso file and burn it to a CD or DVD dependin on what it says, then boot it to your hard drive
There is no upgrade path from Windows ME to Windows 2000. You would have to reformat the hard drive to remove ME before you install Windows 2000 from scratch.
No. First of all, not everyone would consider Windows an "upgrade." Secondly, Windows does not support migrating a Windows system, so you have to erase the hard drive and do a clean install.
Not directly. You can format the hard drive and install Windows XP cleanly. You can upgrade directly to Windows XP Professional (which is more expensive).
This will not perform a direct upgrade. It will remove everything from the hard drive and install Windows 7. You must re-install all of your programs.
clean install formats your hard drive eliminating the virus and doesn't in an upgrade
Best way is to copy off the files you want, then format the drive and install WIndows 2000 from scratch. It always works far better that way than to try to do an Upgrade from one OS to another.
Not directly. You would need to format the hard drive and install Vista from scratch. Note that the very best computers that shipped with Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, or Windows ME are scraping the very bottom of Vista's minimum system requirements. It may not be a very cost effective upgrade to install Windows Vista on such an old computer.
You would need to purchase the install CD from Windows. The free upgrade to Windows 10 is only offered to current Windows user. If you are not part of their product you would need to purchase it.
If you have a Microsoft Windows 98 Upgrade CD, you simply put it inside the CD Rom drive and it should launch and proceed to do the upgrade. If you have a Windows 98 Full Installation CD, after it starts running answer to 'upgrade' in stead of a full Windows 98 installation. This will keep all your Windows 95 programms and settings. I hope this help
Yes, I just did it. With the XP Upgrade CD in, in windows 98 go to run in the start menu and open setup.exe from the cdrom drive, it'll install xp on the windows 98. Because you're not making a new guest OS in vmfusion, it still shows up as "Windows 98" but the actual OS is upgraded to be XP.
To install Windows 95 from MS-DOS, run an F disk before formatting the hard disk. Then add a switch /S so that the partition will be bootable.
You dont have to format the drive to install windows. But it is a good idea. If you try to install windows onto a drive which already has windows on it (working or non-working) it will probably refuse to continue instead preferring to attempt to fix the existing install. You can get around this by renaming or deleting the original windows folder
