Upgrade Help Please

Hi all,

I am planning to download, from the Windows site, XP Pro. I am currently
using XP Home.
What kind of problems, if any, should I be anticipating, or should I be
prepping in some way prior to downloading Pro?

Thank you.

Tom

I certainly do not want that. I guess I better check out who wants my money
that bad. Thanks.

First, you can't download XP Pro, legally. You can purchase it, however.
You should backup anything you can't afford to lose, just in case. You may
encounter some issues with existing dial up connections, or creating new
ones, but those are easily fixed.
