Friend wishes to upgrade from 98 to XP.
Windows 98 was preinstalled on his pc at purchase and he doesn't have the 98
CD's.
Q. - Will he be able to purchase and install XP upgrade software or will he
need to buy the full XP?
Thanks.
 
He can upgrade using the XP Upgrade version and he can even do a clean
install using the Upgrade version providing he does so from the Windows 98
Desktop. Pop the XP Upgrade CD into the drive and select Install->Upgrade
[recommended] to do the upgrade. Or select Install -> New install to do a
clean install. He just has to be careful not to setup a dual boot scenario
if doing the clean install unless he wants to do that.
