Can I upgrade from Windows 98/95 to 2000 pro or do I have to do a new install?

You are changing from a 95 platform to an NT platform. This will be a complete install to accomplish this.

If you have the patience, you can upgrade to Windows NT4 first, and then to 2000. This will keep all your settings and files intact.

Hope that helps,

Yes you can, if you have read and checked the Hardware Compatibility List and Application Compatibility List from MS.
When you upgrade, you will have at one stage the choice of keeping the system behaving like a 9x machine or to start using it asNT type. Your choice.
Make sure you back-up your data anyway, before starting.
