Selecting an operating system
Two operating systems are installed on your computer’s hard disk:
Windows 95 and Windows 98. You must select one OS.
After your selection, the other OS will be permanently erased from
your system.
When you first turn on the power, the computer’s initial screen is the
Selecting OS Menu. Press the ‘1’ key to select Windows 98 and the ‘2’
key to select Windows 95. Follow the on-screen directions. After you
complete your selections, the system will boot in the OS you chose.
Be sure to read the License on Windows display carefully. Also read
all the information in the Certificate of Authenticity screen. This
screen asks you to enter the product ID number.
The ID number is 20 figures for Windows 95 and 25 figures for
Windows 98. Enter the appropriate ID number into the Certificate of
Authenticity dialog box.
Be sure to read the License Agreement carefully.
