Win 98 or Win XP on Win 95

[genista]

I have a PC equipped with Pentium 133 MHz, 64 MB ram, 40
GB, Win 95.
Is it possible to install Win 98 or Win XP ?
If yes, where can I download the files from ?
Is the download free of charge or not ?

Many thanks

Possible? for Windows 98 yes. For Windows XP no - not enough RAM and
the CPU is too slow.

You can't. You have to purchase it.

See above. The only sources for Windows 98 are auction sites such as
eBay or some retailers that have old stock on hand or who specialize
in clearance items. Check www.pricewatch.com

And be careful - buyer beware is the watchword. And be sure you are
getting what you need - you need both the Windows CD and the product
key (Certificate of Authenticity).

Good luck
