I have 3.1 and I want to remove it and do a new install of 95. I have the new install for 95 not the upgrade. How do I do this with out really messing things up?

Depends on what you want to do. If you wipe windows 3.1, you'd have to reinstall all the programs you have, You could backup your personal files, and do a full reformat of your harddrive to make it clean and a whistle then install win95 (make sure you make yourself a good DOS bootdisk WITH CDROM drivers loaded and works first, though) Well on second thought why woudl you wanna run those old 3.1 progs in win95 anyways.....

I have the same question as Alan: is there any simple way in doing this upgrade to Win95 from 3.11, without going through the trouble of reformatting the drive? I don't remember how to make a dos bootdisk..Thanks for all your advice.

I have boot disk 95 with CD-ROM support E-Mail me and i tell you how to upgrade your system and i send you Boot disk with CD-Rom Support. oleg105@yahoo.com

Why dont you use a windows 95 upgrade as far as i know there was one!!! also look @ www.bootdisk.com

I to wanted to upgrade from 3.11 to win95 so I could network my new and old computer together. I was told from microsoft that there was no such upgrade program. they suggested a full format which I did then reinstall win95, all I got for all this effort is that it erased everything from my hard drive including my bios. Does anyone know how I can retrieve that information so at least the computer is functional again.

I recently had the same problem. Luckily, I found full install version of DOS 6.2. I formatted C: and installed 6.2. Since my cdrom drivers were also gone. I had a cdrom driver install that installed from a floppy. Once the cd driver was loaded, I installed the full version 95 onto my computer. After it is installed put in your 95 startup disk and you've got it.
