Do I have to uninstall Win98 before loading WinXP? I wish to transfer my Win98 files to WinXP? Do I have to back-up to CD, or is there a feature where this can be done automatically whilst installing XP?
Any advice would be much appreciated. antje.
If you have bought an upgrade version of Windows XP, you will be prompted to upgrade.
I urge you to first do a compatability check to see if your hardware can indeed support Windows XP.
Should you change your mind during the upgrade (And only
during the upgrade) it will automatically revert back to the original settings and leave Windows 98 intact.
However; if you have bought an OEM or full version of Windows XP you will have to reformat your HDD before installing Windows XP.
