Upgrade Windows 98 to 2000 -- possible? 1

[JKehoe]

Hey everyone,

I built a new system over the weekend that I would like to run Windows 2000 on. My problem is, I have the following OS installation disks:

Windows 95 (Full Version)
Windows 98 (Upgrade CD, not SE)
Windows 2000 (Upgrade CD)

What I'm planning on doing is loading up Win 95, upgrading to Win 98, then upgrading to Win 2000. My question is, can you upgrade Windows 98 (First version, not SE) to Windows 2000?

Also, would there be an easier method of installation to get Win 2000 as my end result?

Thanks!

Sorry, but you are going to have to get an NT4 install or a full W2K install.. You can't upgrade from 98 to 2000..

I thought you could upgrade to 2000 PRO but not SERVER. Pretty sure you can cos I think I've done it.

You can upgrade to 2000 pro. I've done it. Here's the MS take:
