XP Upgrade disk

[Trent SC]

Am I right in thinking that one of the qualifying operating systems for an
XP Pro upgrade CD is Windows 98se?

TIA

Hello,

Yes you are...

Hi Trent,

Yes, you are right. WinXP Pro upgrade will work on Win98, Win98SE, WinME,
WinNT4, Win2000, and WinXP Home. You can also use any of those product CD's
as a qualifier for a clean install. A Win95 disk will also work for the
clean install, though you would not be able to upgrade a Win95 installation.

Many thanks to you both.

Yes. You can upgrade to Pro from NT4; Win2000; 98, 98SE or ME. To Home
only from the 98/ME set. And while you cannot upgrade a win95 system,
a Win95 CD will be accepted as 'evidence' in a clean install using an
Upgrade CD
