Win ME: Can it be upgraded by Win 3.1?

[Athlon4all]

I have sitting here a Win Me Upgrade. According to MS's website, the previous versions that can "upgrade" the Win Me are 95, 98, and 98SE. Now, according to the manual, it says in regards to installed clean, you can give setup a 95, 98, 98SE CD-ROM or a Windows For Workgroups floppy, indicating that it can indeed be "upgraded" legally by WFW. Now if thats true, what about Windows 3.1 (non-windows for workgroups)? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks!

No, I don't think you can. Windows 95, yes.

will windows for workgroups legally upgrade xp?

NO..Win98 minimum on XP.

I believe that WinME can be upgraded from WFW. I know for sure that 98SE you could. Also, there was 2 versions of of WinME upgrades. The normal version and the the $49 discounted version that only could be upgraded from Win98.

Yes, 98 is the min for XP Home (NT4 is the min for Pro). Thanks for the input guys.
