:thumbsup: Good morning everyone. I am new to this site so be gentle. I want to upgrade my PC from Windows 98 1st edition to windows 98SE. I was given a 98SE cd. I have a Packard Bell multimedia model 854 with a Maui motherboard. I hope I said this right. It is a P11-400 Mghz. All I am interested in doing is to upgrade without a full install. I also have periphials hooked up..printer,scanner, and have DSL. Also, my HDD is only 6.5 GB. I would be happy if someone could give me a step by step procedure in accomplishing this task. Again thank you...Always..Marion :flowers:
Keep on smiling---Mare

It doesn't make any specific mention of it in the tutorial.
Never did an upgrade, so i can't say for sure.
You might want to wait a day or two, to see if anyone else chimes in with info to the contrary.
