Win 98 to Win 2000
« on: August 25, 2009, 02:48:36 AM »
I am currently running the free avast home edition under Win 98 and it is working fine.  I want to update to Win 2000.  Do I need to do anything to avast before or after this update.  Is there a different version of avast free home between Win 98 and Win 2000?  Thanks

You need to completely reinstall avast on the new OS.

Uninstall avast on Windows 98 BEFORE you update it to Windows 2000.
Reinstall avast after you get Windows 2000 running.

OK, thanks for your answers.  I will uninstall, then reinstall.  Probably need to look at all of my programs with this same question in mind.

make a copy of ALL important documents,pictures etc. onto removable media before upgrading in case there is an issue.
