I have the NT4 upgrade disk that i want to put on a laptop, but i only have win3.1 or win95 disks not NT3.1 or NT3.5 so is there any way i can upgrade my laptop using win3.1 or win95? or can someone tell me where i can get NT3.1 or NT3.5 as i want NT4 on my laptop because its more stable that win95. I hope you can understand me and that you can help. Thanks in advance. Rachel.
