Probably, depends on your PC, BIOS, and OS.
1) Win98SE or later is needed.
2) USB port (obvious)
3) BIOS support for USB keyboard if you want it available during bootup.
Most BIOSes have a setting that enables USB keyboard support. Ensure that USB keyboard is enabled while a PS/2 keyboard is connected.
Windows should automatically recognize and configure the USB keyboard.

Definitely, Yes! If you have a USB port (which is very common on most computers), then you can use a USB keyboard. Just unplug your current keyboard, plug the USB keyboard in and turn the computer on.
By the way, you might want to consider trying your keyboard on another computer. If it works on another computer, then you might have some problems with your port. If not, then your keyboard is failing.
