Win XP upgrade or full version

Im planning the move to Windows XP. I currently run Windows 98. Should I just get the Windows XP upgrade or should I get the XP full version? Besides it being an upgrade and installing over Win 98 what are the downfalls to using the upgrade version of XP??

 

They are the same except the Upgrade version looks for an older Windows, which can be on CD. I recommend you install it fresh, not upgrade, but Microsoft for the first time requirements an upgrade. But why burden yourself with old problems?

 

Hi mason, I moved from 98 to XP upgrade. It cost me a fortune and eventually bought new puter with XP pre-installed.
My first problem when I brought old puter home was short of hard drive.Got that sorted. Then modem wasn't compatible got that sorted. Then it packed in again, by this time had spent around 3 hundred pounds. I decided this was enough and bought
new computer.
But while reading through one of the forums one day I got the idea on getting old computer going again. My son uses it for all the crap he wants to download and I wouldn't let him do on new puter. In short "my" upgrade experiance was a waste of good money. It may be better for you and others.
Also old 98 was only 6GB hard drive. Best of luck with it.
