Title: Upgrade from 95 to 98???
Post by: mystik on September 13, 2004, 10:46:24 AM

I normally work with XP/2000 and am not sure but is it possible to upgrade from Win 95 to 98?

I have an old Wing Commander Privateer game I want to play in DOS and I am having problems with 95 that is installed on a current drive. Not able to get a copy of 95 but can get a hold of 98.

just delete the 95 os and upload 98.

If I do that, then what about the drivers? Do I have to go through and locate each driver for the peripherals and back up those?

Win98 came in 2 versions, Upgrade and Full.  Either one should install over Win95.  Either way, make sure you have all necessary drivers before you do the upgrade.  If it's Win98SE, it has a lot more drivers "built-in" than the first edition of Win98.
