How (or can) I update from Office 95 to 97 or 2000?

[Grossey2001]

I have 2 hard drives in my computer, my C: drive has Microsoft Office 95 and
my slave drive has Office 97. I can't use my 97 because it pops up saying
that it can't find (misc.) files. There are many files it can't find so I
want to update my 95 to either 97 or 2000. Do I have to go buy new software
or am I able to get updates online? My operating system is Windowws 98.
Any help would be great. I only have the 2 hard drives because my secondary
drive was in my computer used for work until it crashed (motherboard
problems).
Thank You

You will need to purchase a current version of Office (only 2003 is offered
at most retail outlets) but you can purchase the upgrade edition since you
have a qualifying product - Office 97. Ensure you retain this CD as it will
be required at any reninstallation.

I'd recommend updating to a more current version of Office. Microsoft no
longer offers support for Office 95 and 97.
