SUMMARY
When you upgrade from Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows NT to Windows 2000, the Setup wizard displays a warning message informing you that your current operating system will be replaced if you continue. Windows 2000 does not contain an uninstall feature to let you return to your previous Windows operating system.

MORE INFORMATION
You should make a complete system backup before you upgrade to Windows 2000. Restoring this backup is the only way to return to your previous operating system as it was before you performed the upgrade.
