Panasonic CF-25: install Win XP?

I have an old Pana CF-25 laptop. It has win 98 on it. Has 80 mb of ram
only, 4 gb HDD. Pentium MMX 200 CPU. Was just wondering if I could
upgrade it to XP? I am thinking not, but just wanted to confirm.
Most of the software that is available on the internet for WIndows
isn't compatible with WIn 98, any longer, is it?

thanks.

Compared to Windows XP, Windows 98 is difficult to work with. Then
again, you won't be doing high level personal computing on a Pentium
200 with a 4 GB hard drive. Having at least 512 MB of RAM helps. If
you've got less than 256 MB of RAM, Windows XP will struggle (or
maybe not run at all).

Make a copy of important files from the hard drive to removable
media.

With very little additional software, 4 GB might be enough. As long
as you've got important files copied to removable media, it won't
hurt to try. Do a clean install. In other words, format the hard
drive and then install Windows XP. First you should probably
slipstream service pack 2 into Windows XP if it's not already SP2.

Good luck.
