I wan to change my PCs running system from Win 98SE to win xp Home. Can anyone tell me how to do this .?

Answer 1

Get the Windows XP Home upgrade, it's really easy. There might be some problems with your software or hardware but it'll tell you before it begins.
There's a program from Microsoft which'll tell you of any problems your system might have upgrading (before you go out and spend money) called Upgrade Advisor at

If you make sure you buy the Windows XP Upgrade (not the full version) you won't lose any of your current programs / files.

Not that fast though, its not like just buy the cd and put it in and let install. You need to see if your pc can run on xp smoothly. It will do if you have pentium 3 and above pc preferrably pentium 4 or AMD Athlon etc. It should have at least over 1gig processor and microsoft says 128 but to be honest its better if you have 256mb RAM. (how you get this info. is by right clicking on my computer icon on your desk top and clicking on property).
If you have less than the minimum above requirement you will face a lots of headache with your pc not being efficient and running slow etc.
now once you are satisfied that you have this, then you need to have a window xp cd with the product key.
you put the CD in and reboot your pc. pc's are normally set to look for a bootable CD first so you dont have to do anything except following the instruction on the screen as xp will load on to your pc and once finished you need to set clock, and region etc. and off you go. good luck.

Option 3 - Reboot from CD and clean install WinXP over the Win98 partition. This will format the existing partition and all data within. Do remember to take a backup of any important file's

Purchase the XP Home CD. Run a compatability program which checks for any potential problems XP may run in to (in terms of software issues). Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements.
