    Windows 98 Keys


    Is it legal to use any Windows 98 key found online for free? Can we legally use an .iso file of Windows 98 for free? I'm just using it to play old games on an emulator program.

    :)

    Windows 98 Product key on Windows 10?

    Hi,

    It will not be accepted as a valid product key and it will not activate your Windows 10 license. The Windows 98 product key is for a Windows 98 license only. If you try to insert it on Windows 10, it will only be refuse as a valid product key.

    If you want to activate your Windows 10 license, you need to buy a proper Windows 10 Product key (I suggest you to get one from Microsoft Store, that's the safest way).

    The Windows 98 product key will be accepted if you install a Windows 98 OS on another device or another partition of your Pc, but can't be used to activate Windows 10.

    I hope to have answered your question.

    P.s: Please, if the answer resolve your issue, click on Yes. Thanks.

    Windows 98 and ME no longer updatable...

    Quite right, XP is still listed in technet. Win 98 unfortunately isn't. Windows 3.1 and 3.2 are listed though.
