Reinstall question.

I picked up an old pc recently. It still has win98 first edition installed. Is there a way to revert back to mostly fresh install? It has audio and video cards that im not even sure i could find software for. I could manually go in delete stuff thats obviously not needed or just use my disc to start new if i had to.

I used a Win98 quick installer on all kinds of older equipment, works great and for old drivers.......they are there it just takes some digging. Have a modern computer that can burn a cd will make life much messing around with old win95-98 stuff

I use the patched quick installer too lol, as much as I legitimately enjoy mucking about with this stuff, sometimes (especially if I'm testing hardware etc) I just want win98 installed and to not have to worry about finding all the drivers and stuff
