I know it is a very basic question to ask, but where can I find copies of 'old' operating systems? I have reached the point in the A+ where it would be useful to have access to various operating systems so I can explore the differences between them. There are copies for sale on eBay but I wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Ebay is probably your best bet.

 

Okie doke. Thanks.

 

You might be able to download evaluation copies from Microsoft's website. I know you can download XP and server 2003 evaluation copies but I'm not sure about Windows 98 etc but it's worth a try. Failing that echo Ebay as your best shot.

 

Depends on what you mean by "old". I discovered I could buy Windows 98 on Amazon:

This is as close as I could get to Windows 95 on Amazon:

Amazing to think you can still "get" 9X should you wish.

Good idea, the A+ can ask a multiple of questions on any OS.

Luckily, i had mainly XP ones.
