Install Windows 98 on a newly-formatted hard disk, without reinstalling Windows 95 first! Yes. If you are an experienced user-and are willing to reinstall all your applications- you can save disk space, reduce device configuration issues, and get even more speed from Windows 98 by performing a 'clean install'. You can use the Windows 98 Upgrade CD, even if you're installing it onto a blank formatted hard disk with the minimum MS-DOS files required to boot to a C: prompt. Once you've inserted the Windows 98 CD and begun the install, you will be prompted to insert the Windows 95 CD or floppy disk for compliance checking, to prove you're upgrading. Note Don't forget you must first backup all your data onto high-capacity storage (such as Zip disks) and have all the original software to reinstall your applications.
