Laptop OS Query

[Berne]

Hi,

Is it possible to update my laptop to XP from Win98? Most state it is but my spec is WIN98 preinstalled
( I have no 98 disc ) with only 64mb of RAM, and hard drive is only 10gb. Some say the XP upgrade disc only comes in the XP Pro version...would this be a factor in my proposal given my laptops spec?

£100 is quoted cost from the high street, any better offers out there?

If so is there a link or url showing how to do this?

Regards,

Berne

You could upgrade to windows xp if you wanted to. You are at the very bottom of the minimum ram requirements: 64mb. You have enough hdd space with 10 gigs. That is all that I have on my xp partition, and it works fine for me.

You can still get xp home if you want to get it. I found it here for $98.99 US Dollars.

It will work, however I'd definitely get more ram. 64mb is very little and you will run into problems if you have multiple programs running at the same time.
