I have windows 98 on my computer someone is giving me windows xp pro pack do i install w/disc like the old 1?

Question

i don't have $ to get another hard-drive and i realize i will lose all current information also can anyone explain the difference between windows xp pro pack and the regular windows xp

Answer 1

The simple answer is No, you won't loose any data if you UPGRADE from 98 to xp. remember to choose the upgrade option , not the new installation. which will format the data.

Good luck!!!

Answer 2

Hi

All OS are shipped with different versions for diff users

for ex:

Windows XP Home

Window XP Prof

Ya... and as you can guess, Pro has more features than home version

For Side-by-Side Installation of two OS's (Dual Booting)

Start your comp in Win 98, Insert XP Pro Disk,

then select set up type as NEW INSTALLATION

but select one more option---> I will select destination in set process (I don't remember real wordings)

Answer 3

no dont do

Answer 4

while installing updated version you can choose upgrade option

you will not loss your data...
