It's way past time for me to get a faster computer than my P2 running 98SE.
So, I got this ASUS P4 machine from a friend but it has a bogus copy of XP on
it and I'm unwilling to do that. For my purposes, 98SE is just fine so I'd
like to retire my P2 machine and put legal copy of 98SE on the P4 and then
reload my Office 97. Can I do that? How would it go?
What I have is a full copy of Win 95 and an upgrade CD to Win 98. Do I have
to reformat the hard drive and start all over or can I upgrade directly from
XP Pro to Win 98 and then download the SE upgrade from microsoft?
Now I know someone out there is going to suggest I'm not too bright doing
this downgrade but right now, I just don't have the bread to purchase both a
new OS and Office too. So, hold your nose and give me some good advice.
