i want to update a Windows 98 laptop to a Windows XP is that possible can someone direct me to a site where i can download the XP software or can i use the one that came with my Dell in a HP???

here's the help and support site

You have to buy XP again....... www.microsoft.com has it there..... But i do not reccomend updating to xp on a system built for 98... It will most liekly not work fast enough to do anything..
