Hey guys the were all the Windows ME discs "Upgrade Only" or were they all full discs versions?

[Fanta Shokata]

Not all Windows ME discs were upgrade-only. It depends on whether it's full version or upgrade.

The full version of Windows Me even included a boot disk!

Some Windows Me CDs (OEM) were bootable IIRC.

I have TWO image files in my collection. One is 498 MB and has a different screen than my other one that is 408... One plays a video you can't X out of when you get done with setup. What Part #s did these ME discs have? First has a autorun screen that shows Browse CD, Interactive stuff, then Documentation. The second ISO has Browse Interactive CD Sampler, and Step By Step interactive.
What about that edition of ME that has a blue box and not white?

That was a promotional step-up version.

What about the CD that is larger? One is 498 the other is 408 but I don't have the Promo box one that I know of...?
What about disc #s? X16-xXXXXXX?

I think that's OEM.

What about part #s for Upgrade only vs Full retail?

The full version is bootable, the upgrade version can just upgrade from Windows 95 or 98. I hope I could help with it.

But not all Windows ME CDs were bootable, while someone attempted to upgrade to Windows ME from Windows 3.1

A few years ago (> 2010) in a supermarket in my area they exhibited a pallet of Windows ME packages for € 9 each. They weren't upgrades
