Re: Upgrade

Hi Norman,

Personally, I would not recommend upgrading to Windows 98 if you already have Windows 95 installed. Unless you're having problems with your current OS, leave it as is. ...If it ain't broke...don't fix it!

The tech is right though, it's always best to install an OS from scratch then upgrade, not always necessary, but still a good idea.

If you do choose to format the drive and install Windows 98, it's no problem to save your data files for Office 97. Same goes for the Internet preferences and bookmarks/favorites. Outlook express can be a little tricky, but can still be done. Make sure the tech knows how to do it before you give him the system.

The RAM upgrade is a very good idea. You can _NEVER_ have too much and the move to 64Mg can boost performance quite nicely.

Good luck,

Richard
