I want to upgrade to windows 98 Second edition to xp eventually win 7 need to know the steps

have old desktop with win 98 2nd edition can some give me the steps to upgade to xp sp3 please

Hello:

I can bet safely that Windows 7 does not work on an old PC with Windows 98.

In order to upgrade to Windows XP, you must obtain a disc to upgrade program XP Home which are no longer available. You need to check out a place like eBay and see if you can get a new version of XP Home updated seal.

Do not buy a used one, or you may have problems to activate the software.

    You will need to purchase a full commercial copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. You cannot use a Windows XP hacked as an operating system that you are eligible for an upgrade. Make sure that there are Windows 7 drivers for the hardware of the laptop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello

    If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

    It is part of the upgrade process

    and also read this on licensing rules;

    If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

    The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    And even 1 GB is not enough for a decent performance with almost any

  • During the upgrade to Windows XP Media Edition 2004-2005 - do not go

    While upgrading from Windows XP Media Edition 2004 to XP ME 2005, I entered the 25-character product key and it would not take it. Then I tried to use the product key that came with my Sony VAIO that came with this version of Windows XP Media Edition 2004, it would not accept either. I am absolutely sure I had the correct product key because he was strong and had the Microsoft sticker on the package marked Upgrade of Windows XP Media Edition 2005. Could something else would cause because my ME XP 2004 had just been installed about two weeks ago. Earlier in the day (yesterday), SP 2 has been downloaded and installed.  I would point out product keys, but I don't want someone else to win by making and using my product key on their system. If you wish, I can give you my product keys for verification, if you wish.

  • In Windows 7, why cursor moves when you type, causing need to return the position of the cursor?

    After inserting the cursor to start typing, the cursor moves frequently on his own.  This translates into the need to reposition the cursor and enter again before continuing to type.  I can't believe such a lack of basis occurs in the new product, but I can't work out how to remedy.

    I also noticed that other measures be taken before I even clicked or pressed enter, taking me where I want to be far away.  I own a computer using XP Professional and have never experienced this problem.  Only since I use my friends laptop installed with Windows 7 I just through that.

    I'm not sure I want to upgrade to Windows 7 if it is so cumbersome to work with.

    Everyone has noticed this and how is it fixed?

    Thanks much, Jeanette

    Hello Jessen P

    Have you looked at drivers as you suggest.  As a result, it became obvious that my friend had not installed the mouse trackball with the software provided with the mouse.  It has been installed.  Cursor action now seems stable.  Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

    Kind regards
