I did try installing 3.11 on top of '95 in the past and it simply
installed over it, either I missed the the prompt regarding the
upgrade option (entirely possible) or my system configuration is
somewhat different. 
Either way I now have 3.11 working which means I can use the SPSS
programme that would not work in '95.

I think that in future any time i set up a computer i will simply
install '95 in a different directory and save all the hassle.
