| I currently have Win 98 second ed on my computer. I just bought windows 2000 professional (full version) and I think I need to do a clean install by formatting my hard drive first,
and then install Win 2000. Not sure though.
Will the existing programs on my computer be wiped out?
what if I just load in win 2000 on top of 98? what would happen?
Do I have to do a clean install first, then load in windows 2000? I probably do since I dont have much hard drive space.
Please let me know! thanks. | |

| No, don't do a clean install, unless you want lose all information.If you do an upgrade, all of your programs will probably be alright, you may have to get new versions of some of your programs. Another thing you could do is a dual boot, if you format with Fat instead of Ntfs you can use both operating systems. Can't remember the exact numbers, but I think you need at least 650mb of space on the drive where the operating system files are, and atleast 2 gigs in total so that Win 2000 will run well. | |
