XP Upgrade from Win98SE Japanese

[Doug]

I want to know if I'll be able to upgrade from win 98 SE
(Japanese) to Win XP (English). Anybody know?

No, you can not upgrade from one language to another.
You also can not change the language of Windows.

You need to buy the full version of Windows XP English and perform a
Clean Installation.

Greetings --

You cannot upgrade from one language version of the an OS to
another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
English WinXP to perform a clean installation.

Cannot Upgrade or Install a Different Language Version of Windows XP
