If anyone has a restore cd for Compaq armada 1750 for windows 98 could you please upload it on archive.org?
I'm not sure it exists but it said on the sticker it's made for windows 98 so I would guess so.

At the moment I'm installing the windows 95 version. Maybe I can upgrade it to 98. I might try calling the Compaq Support number but I think I might end up in a fake call center in India trying to scam me. 🙁
You can see if your compaq came with 95 or 98 by looking at its serial number, there is a pdf that shows what the letters and numbers represent.
But anyway, just install 95 and use a 98 upgrade. The serial numbers are considered abandonware, it is not very illegal for you to use one from the internet, as microsoft can no longer provide them Also, if at some point in your life, you bought a Windows 95 or 98 box, or a computer that came with it pre-installed, you are entitled to use any serial number, since you paid for it one day.
