How can i install windows 95 on my pc if the hard drive is clean and i only have a upgrade to windows 95. It is asking me for the previous verions of window (the disk).. Is there any way that i can get around that that doens't take a genius to figure out. I hope someone can help me.

All you need is floppy disk #1 of the win3x install disks.

you need windows 3.0, 3.1 or 3.11 installed first before you can use an upgrade CD. If you want to install from fresh (full install on a clean HDD) you need the full version. If you can get Windows 95 version C. The other 2 versions of win 95 don't have as much device drivers and have many bugs.

Does any one know where i can download the first disk of win 3x or the whole thing so that i can install 95.

you only need to show the installation you have the disks.. you do not need to install the previous version first.. Bypass Upgrade Check When wanting to do a clean install of Win98 yet bypass the check for an older version of Windows. Boot your system from a boot diskette (Windows 95/98 startup disk, or DOS bootable diskette). Create a file in the root directory of your boot partition named "ntldr" (no quotes). The file can't be a zero-byte file, so edit it and put rem on a single line with no spaces in front of it. This should bypass the check for previous version of Windows by fooling the system into thinking that NT is installed. it not, make folder c:\windows, and copy any file to it and rename to "win.com" may work HTH
