Deleating programs

19 years ago

I'm running Windows 98. and would like to to install Windows XP. After installing XP I would then like to remove Windows 98. Is it ok to delete 98 by right clicking on the folder its in and click delete? Would I have any problems by doing it this way? Would I need to keep the 98 drivers in case

any of the programs on my computer needs them?

Thanks for the help you can give.

    Find and run the windows xp upgrade adviser to see if you have any incompatable wind98 programs.

    I did the xp upgrade disk then deleted winME, think maybe there was an option to do that right off the bat too.
    I installed xp every which way possible and the xp install option with the format disk and install as a new install was the smallest/neatest.

    Any drivers you may need you can go find after the install. There probably wont be many that xp cant install from cd or the first web boot.
