I had Win98 on a PC for years after formal support ended, and even ran WinXP programs/apps on it with no trouble. Then after I did switch that PC to WinXP I ran it for years after formal support ended, and again with no issues. I only switched to that PC to Win7 when I could not then get current anti-virus software with system requirements that accepted WinXP.

Time to upgrade to Windows 98SE!

Some can laugh, but what I said was true.

Why “upgrade” if everything is wotking fine, you don’t require any of the “improvements” in the “upgrade”, your system is stable and you have current antivrus apps.

I was in IT for many years. New releases from Microsoft were referred to “vaporware” before AND after they came out. Often what was “new” was stuff that independents were already delivering that Microsoft stole, copied or bought up and bundled into the OS.

What Micropsoft excelled at more than anything was not technology - it was marketing. It still is.
