Couple of things....
- If the disk and the key don't match, it may or may not work. I don't know
if they put a different key on each disk.
- If the Win98SE disk you have/get is a full-install one, it won't let you
just replace Win95. At least the ones I used wouldn't - they'd detect that Win95
was already installed, and would tell me to go buy an upgrade disk instead.
I had to reformat the hard drive using a Win95 DOSfloppy first. Then 98 could
be installed easily.
I'm still running Win95 here on some machines. I like it because it will run
on older boxes and smaller HDs, plus it is so old nobody writes viruses for it
anymore.
But it's getting to the point that too many apps won't run on 95. Time for me
to build a new computer!
