I have not tried a Windows 2000 upgrade myself on my trusty
PB system; instead I base this advice on articles that I have read.
Just about every source that I have read says that the upgrade to Windows
2000 can be difficult and certain hardware and software may not work.
The reason why it may be so difficult for the home user is because Windows
2000 is the next version of Windows NT, which is an operating system designed
for the office environment.
If you still want to upgrade to Windows 2000 you will need to:
-
Replace your utilities;
-
Find Windows 2000 drivers for your hardware (you won't find any from PB)
or replace that hardware;
-
Reinstall all your software and, in some cases, find and buy newer versions.
Additionally, if you like games, many of them will not work on Windows
2000. It does have better compatibility with games than Windows NT,
but not as good as Windows 98.
