"Qualifying media" question

G

Greg Gatto

I currently have a PC running Windows ME. It was
purchased from Gateway, and, as a result, I do not have
the original WinME CD.

I would like to upgrade this system to Win XP Home
edition, through a clean install. Although I do not have
the WinME CD, I own a Windows 98 Upgrade CD. This CD was
sufficient qualifying media when I upgraded my other
system from Win98 to WinXP. Will I be able to use this
CD as qualifying media, even though I am upgrading from
WinME?

Thanks,
Greg

Yes it will, plus if Windows ME is currently installed XP's etup will see
it. You can still choose to do a Clean Install.
