Where to get Windows 98? (1 Viewer)

[Mark Hayenga]

I have an old Dell PC (XPS-T 450) that has Win98 installed, but I'd like to wipe it and start with a fresh install. I have an old copy of Win2K available, but want 98 to run some legacy apps that don't have support under 2K. Will Dell support send me a copy, or where can I hunt one of these down? Thanks!

looks like ebay has a bunch listed. weed through the listings to find someone reputable, and it should be pretty cheap.

Just be aware that Microsoft has stopped support for both Win 98 and Win ME.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried running these legacy apps under XP in compatability mode? You might have some luck there. The other option is to set up a newer machine and run the older apps under a virtual PC/Virtual server (which is now free).

I picked up a Win 98 SE Cd on Ebay( $12.50/including Shipping) a few months ago for a old Laptop that I wanted to get going again.
Worked perfect !

* just make sure it comes with the "Product Key" documentation.
