Operating Systems
Yo,
My fiance' bought an upgrade version of Windows XP Home Edition. She currently has Windows 2000 on her PC and it won't let her upgrade from Win2k, only ME and 98 it says. My question is, is can you downgrade operating systems? I have a copy of Windows 98 I bought a couple years ago and i'm thinking if she could downgrade from 2000 to 98, she could then upgrade to XP? Any thoughts? Thanks, Rich |

You can probably use the win98 disk to do a clean install of XP, but you can't really downgrade that sys from W2K to Win98 unless it was upgraded from win98 and the win98 install saved. You can boot from the XP disk and reformat the drive and do a clean install though, and it will at one point just ask you to put in your old windows version disk to verify for the upgrade, so what I am saying you do not have to have the previous qualifying version of windows installed on the harddrive, you just have to have the disk handy..
