I realize that sooner or later support will end, and new software features now available are not compatible with 3.1. I upgraded a number of Win95 computers without trouble. Older systems have more potential for difficulty, but the installation should go smoothly in most cases. That computer will run the upgraded operating system, but sluggishly. I'd recommend a Pentium processor, preferably 133 Mhz or faster, and 32 Mb of memory.
Disk space is likely to be the biggest problem for anyone trying to upgrade an older system.
To install Win98, you'll need at least 120 Mb of free disk space. It includes a utility that allows significant savings in how files are stored on your hard drive, but it cannot be run until after Win98 has been installed successfully. The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc. All rights reserved.
