Downgrade WinXP VM to Win98?

Post by WinCam7 »

Okay, I'm uninstalling all programs I believe to be too... uh, new to work with Win98. The 98 is an UPGRADE disc, would that still work?

I took a snapshot a long time ago, so if something does it screwed up I can revert it back to that state. That was long before I uninstalled anything.

I need help, as I have a Win98 disc and nothing to do with it. I have no working discs/disks of anything below 98. Would the upgrade disc even WORK?

And is the OS type just so you know what it has and so VB knows how much RAM and such to reccomend, or does that have to be strictly the OS you have on there?

Win98 Upgrade Disc needs installed win95 or a win95 cd to verify license.
