I would like to know from where can I order old versions of MS Products such as Win95/98SE, Office 97 etc., to run on old Pentium 1 and lower systems.
Can someone kindly advise me the source please?
Many thanks.

Windows 98SE is still widely available check out http://www.newegg.com in their software O/S section. As far as Windows 95 and Office 97, I would check out Ebay. I doubt retailers will stock those old items but many individuals might have em and be selling them on Ebay.

eBay, eBay, eBay. Did I mention eBay? I just finsished rebuilding a nine-year old Pentium I system into a very acceptible and relatively up to date Win98 system all from very inexpensive components and software I bought from eBay. Even the processor upgrade cost only a few dollars. I bought Win95 OEM, Office 97, Win98 SE Upgrade, all sorts of books and two MS Win98 Training Kits and the Win98 Resource Kit; all from eBay resellers at fractions of original prices. Most items were still new-in-the box that just had never sold due to overstocking.
