Upgrade from Win95 can't be done, at all. Windows 98 minimum is required.


The WinMe CD will qualify for using an upgrade version, even though WinMe
was an upgrade, too.

Thanks to everyone for the responses...
If I take the reformat route, which would be preferable for me,
which would be the qualifying CD? The original Win95 or the WinMe
upgrade,


It doesn't matter. Either will work.

No they won't. Windows 95 will not qualify as an upgrade product!-


Since the OP is going the "reformat route," Win 95 is an option. Win 95
won't qualify for an upgrade install, however.


But the WinMe upgrade CD will.
