Don't worry about it.
You want to buy an upgrade for which computer?

[lilkev76]

Sorry I have been busy at work and the kids have been runnin me around, but I was thinking my laptop, since it's so naked anyways what would it cost?

[Broni]

Let me put things together. Your laptop is with Windows ME, and you want to go to at least Windows 2000?
If this is correct, we'' need your laptop specs. What is the brand, and model of your laptop? Were there any hardware changes to it, or it has original configuratuion?

[lilkev76]

The laptop has Windows 2000 Prof, and I want to upgrade it now can I buy any windows upgrade like if I wanted 98 instead of 2000, or do I need to stick with what I have. The laptop is an old Gateway Solo 5300, not sure what else you need to know so I will keep checking for your response.

[Broni]

Why would you want to go from Win 2000 to Win 98? Win 2000 is much better OS.

[lilkev76]

Being a chef and not a computer guy I listen to what I have heard and someone told me that 98 was better, or that 2000 had alot of problems on it. so what should I do?

[Broni]

You stay with Win 2000. It must be the most stable Operation System ever built. I still use it.

[lilkev76]

cool, I will let you know how it works out. Funny how you always get different reviews of product, thats why I like to ask a few people before I buy. Now will the upgrade take care of Internet Exploror, as I need 5.5 or above or is that different?

[Broni]

When you run Win 2000 updates, it should upgrade IE to version 6. If not, you can always download it manually.
