You are in the Monkey Land

If you have win 95 / OEM edition, there is a different
up-grade version for Win 98 / Second Edition

If you Retail version of Win 95, then there is a
different version

Both sold as Retail Packs only.

When bidding at E-Bay, carefully read the stickers
on the box plus details listed by the seller. Most
offering at E-Bay are for up-grade from Retal version
of Win 95


Frankie has done it, but the procedure is very
complicated.

Your 3rd option is to buy a Win 98 / SE OEM
version and Clean Install it. You will need
3 softwares, Hook up MotherBoard to IDE,
Display Drivers and SoundCard
