...XP. How do I do this? I have a computer with windows 98. What I would like to do is upgrade it to Microsoft widows XP. Can I just wipe my hard drive clean and go from there or do I have to get a new tower?????
If so how do I go about wiping my hard drive and upgrading? I hate to have to buy a new computer if I don't have to.

If you go from 98 to XP, you might not like your computer's performance. XP is a much larger and more resource consuming operating system. My advice to you, buy a new computer.

good luck....

Stay with 98 on an older computer.
Upgrade to XP will use up hard drive space and ram.
The CPU may not handle all that

well your hardware might be too outdated for XP
