I have a Siemens SCENIC PRO C5 100 (S26361-K445-V311 Edition), with a Pentium 133Mhz processor, which is running Windows 98.

I'd like to put together my own, slightly more powerful, build for a Windows 98 machine but I'd really like to keep this machine in my office setup.
(My plan is to stick it in an under-desk rack with my 486 PC and a Windows 98 build, and hook everything up to a single KVM switch)

Apologies if this has already asked, but has anyone posted guides on what would be involved in downgrading an older device like this from Windows 98 to Windows 95?

Many thanks

I don't get it. Why not just format and reinstall?

I knew I was a newbie, but I didn't realise just how stupid my original question was 😁

What I'm asking is if anyone can reccomend a guide or a post on how to do exactly that
