Can i use windows 98 full version to upgrade 95?

I tried it Last week, didn't work. It said to get a upgrade Win 98 cd. I had the FULL version. It didn't work for me. Maybe it can I guess, but my experience says no. GL man... take DN Disturbs advice, just Format and install fresh.

Yep. Just rename all instances of WIN.COM on your hard drive to something like WIN.OLD. Then run Win98 setup normally from DOS using a Win98 install diskette or if you have a bootable Win98 CD then just boot from that. When Setup prompts you for the install directory, it may ask to install to C:\WINDOWS.000 or something like that. Instead, manually select the install directory to be C:\WINDOWS to overwrite your current Windows directory and proceed with install.

Back up your system before attempting this and proceed at your own risk.
 
a real full version disc will install clean or upgrade (for Win 2K anyway). OEM discs will not upgrade unless you do the folder changing thing. remember that there is a difference between an OEM "full" disc and a real full disc.
