Windows 98SE

[Constance]

I have an old computer that kept crashing, so I had the bright idea to
reformat the hard drive and do a clean install. The machine is an old IBM
Aptivia and I don't have all the original software for it. Now that I have
erased the hard drive and tried to install Windows 98SE, it is asking for the
original software to do the upgrade compliance check. How do I get a copy of
the original software or what should I do?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Borrow a W95 disk from someone or buy a copy on EBay
