A long time ago I have installed Win 95 on my PC. I would
like now to install Win 98 or Windows XP. Is that
possible ?
Where to get the download ? What is the price ?
My PC Pentium 133 MHz is equipped with 64 MB ram and 40 GB
hard disk.
Many thanks.

Your machine will not run XP. It will run W98SE. 64Mb RAM is adequate
(just), but 133Mhz processor means that performance will be poor. Unless
you badly need some specific feature of W98Se then Windows 95 is probably
best for a machine of that age.

Microsoft does not make W98SE available for download. You can get an
installation CD on e-Bay or through the on-line computer software stores.
The OEM version is cheapest, but it is designed for installation to a new
hard drive so it is not suitable for upgrading an existing system. Retail
full or Retail upgrade can both be used to upgrade your existing system.
