Want to upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows 98 Second Edition? Here's how

1. First, when you upgrade your computer to a new operating system, always save your important files to floppy disks. These files include your documents as well as Internet Explorer bookmarks, your address book, and e-mail messages. If you have files that are too large to fit on floppy disks, you can send those files to a friend or colleague via e-mail for safekeeping during the upgrade.
2. Next, check how much space you have on your hard drive. Microsoft^™ Windows^™ 98 Second Edition requires between 120 and 295 megabytes (MB) of storage. (195 MB is typical.)
3. Close all your Windows 95 programs, including your anti-virus program. Closing your antivirus program during installation is especially important because Windows 98 Second Edition needs to alter your system files, which is precisely what your antivirus program is supposed to prevent.
4. The Setup wizard prompts you during the installation process; you simply need to follow the directions as they appear.  The Setup wizard also tells you how much time remains.
5. After you install Windows 98 Second Edition, you might find your desktop background is either blank, black, or blue. Don't worry. You can find your old wallpaper (or something new that you like) by clicking on the Start menu, Settings, Control Panel, Display, and Background.
