Sorry, I can't say, I only used win95 very briefly and when straight to win98 full install, no upgrade. I can say, if you get a full version, there is no point in 'upgrading', you should do a new install. -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputerHardware-ConsumerElectronics.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "LARRY J. BODEKER" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Clint, Could you or anyone else on the list tell me if in upgrading from Windows 95a to Windows 95B, would I be able to do this best with the UPGRADE version or the FULL version? I have been able to find both on Ebay at auction, however, I am uncertain if the Upgrade version is Windows 95B and whether it would be best to just go ahead and get the FULL version of Windows 95B and load it over my current Windows 95a hopefully without losing any of my current program applications if I stay with FAT16. Any help would be much appreciate. Thank you.
