Win98 to win98se?
I have an old laptop I put win98 on, but I am hoping to upgrade it to
win98se to have USB support. But I only have the win98 install cd. Is such a thing possible? Would this happen through windows update?

Did you perhaps mean win95? No, I meant win98, I just haven't worked with it very much and I heard that only SE had the USB support. But if vanilla win98 supports USB, then that's great, and SE is not as critical.
