I have an old windows 98 disc and I would like to set up a dual boot system, I am wondering whether or not windows 98 will accept my windows XP product key. I lost my win 98 key ages ago. But my XP key is on the side of my computer.

You cannot use a Product Key designed for Windows XP for a Windows 98 installation.

Please do not use your Windows 98 disc.
Stick with the most up to date version, otherwise you will be leading to problems with viruses and security issues.
If Windows 98 in installed on your computer, you need to UN-install this, and install your XP edition.
Not being an expert, this is only information I have received from the experts.
Hope this helps guide you in the right direction, good luck.

Answer is Nope.
Windows 98 is a 'dead' Operating System, you may be able to find a key online (winworld.vze.com)

No you can't. But you can look for a product key on like limewire, look for passwords or serials. Also you can do a web search under warez.

Nope. You will need the key that came with the XP kit.
