I would like to upgrade v.4.00.95a to the latest windows 95 version. I need in order of installation the list of upgrades available and where to get them and how to upgrade each version.

go to msn and then to product upgrades and then to win 95 there will be all the upgrades available but you will still be running win 95a in order to upgrade to version higher you will have to load a higher version.

I recall the last upgrade to WIN95 was 95b and you can look at the Microsoft knowledgebase for references to the 95 OS System upgrade,to purchase the upgrade look at www.cheapsoftware.com,or a computer shop in your area,be cutious about getting an OEM version of 95b

You can go to the microsoft home page, select downloads, then you have a product choice and an operating system choice. This should find what you want.
Good upgrading, but '98 SE is better.

I have done this. There are four versions to win95 that I know of. win95,win95a,win95b, & win95c. Win95 b&c say with internet explorer on the cd. Here is how I did it. I took the win95 directory(from ver B or C) and installed it on the win95a machine in the root directory(c:\). I the booted to dos safe mode. I changed the directory to c:\win95. I then typed setup. This is an overlay over the existing windows, I did not uninstall. Go through setup like normal(you need I think at least 200 megs of free space). Now for the trick. When the setup ask you if you want to keep any existing files say NO or NO TO ALL. When finished right click my computer you will see the b or c designation. Most of your installed apps wil still work. You will have to upgrade the internet explorer to iron out some kinks. I have done this many times. The previous IT guy refused to open new software. Samething is true with Office97 there are three levels base,sr1,sr2. I would then goto the windows update site andload all of the critical updates.
