[AT] new computer help request

[ROBBRUT at aol.com]

To begin with, this IS tractor-related !
In order to convert/enlarge my two-car garage shop into a bigger shop with at 
least one high bay area, I need to play around with a lot of possible 
configurations/variations.
I began sketching etc, but the erasing and stuff got to be a pain every time 
another possibility was tried.
As luck would have it, a friend gave me an IBM PS/2 56 stc computer (old, but 
at least it has a Pentium chip) a year or two ago when he moved away.
The good news is that it is already loaded with AutoCad LT, which even though 
it is an early version (release date 11/16/93) still has a lot of power for 
my building projects, and also for my machined (tractor, garden tractor and old 
truck) replacement part designs.
The bad news is that it is currently loaded with Windows 3.1 which is a lot 
less easy to use than the windows 98 on my "daily driver".
In addition, it has AOL 3.0, so an upgrade there would be a nice thing too.
So, my question is: can I load Win98 (I have the floppies ) without having to 
re-install the AutoCad    LT ?
I do have the Autocad floppies which my friend gave me along with the 
computer, but I don't know whether he transferred the license to another machine, 
although I kind of doubt it, since he said that he never could get the hang of 
using it. 
But I can't be sure and also can't check it out with him, since he retired to 
Fla and went native with no phone listing, etc.

Any suggestions?
