    Yes it is possible to upgrade by putting the CD in the drive after booting up win98 but a clean install would be better imho. Whatever you do make sure you've downloaded XP drivers for your Gfx card, soundcard and modem before any os update just in case XP doesn't pick them up correctly.

    I agree, backup what you need, get all your drivers, and do a clean install. You will just be chasing problems otherwise.

    Or maybe better still, partition and dual boot. Depending on the games and apps you use it might be an idea to keep 98SE for a while.
