I am trying to upgrade the OS from Win 98SE to Win XP Pro on a Dell
Dimension XPST800r. However I do not have the original CD-Rom for Win 98.
What is worse, I don't have the original Office 2000 CD-Rom. (Moved houses
and the Lord only knows where the CDs and all the manuals ended up! At least
the computer was found!).
Can I still do a clean install of the OS without the original info or
product key?
How can I reinstall Office if I don't have the original CDs?
I also want to use Outlook Express in the new OS. And how about other
applications which I may not have original anything? Adobe Premier, etc
Thanks for info.
The system:
Dell Dimension XPS T800r
256 RAM
30GB hard drive (with plenty of freespace)
Windows 98 SE
Office 2000
Outlook Express
