I want to make a copy of Win98 from a laptop but there are other files on it that I do not want. I will have no specialist software, so plaese dont try to suggest any, it does not help, and i know win98 is old and unsupported but i want it anyway, as a backup os.
how would i do this?

Try copying the individual files to a removable hd or move them onto a cd. or ask a friend 4 the cd

you can’t. You better just find the original win98 cd or prepare for a difficult time. If you don’t have it and are just trying to have a backup os, get a 2.5 to 3.5 ide converter, plug your laptop hd into it, and put it into a pc booting dos and copy the windows, program files, and anything on the c folder individually (but i’ve always had problems doing so). Might as well look at some simple versions of linux to run.
