95 to 98

My friend wants to upgrade Windows 95 to 98. Can i just format the HDD and install 98?
The unit is an older Gateway P2. That's all I know about it.

Based on the VERY limited info, I guess yes.

Need to know if the cd is a regular store bought FULL version.

You should be able to install 98 on it. Just make a boot disk, format the drive, and run setup off the CD.

Sorry for the lack of info, but that's all I have.
It is a full version and,although I don't understand what differnce it makes in reference to my question, a "regular store bought version".
