Reloading XP

[Miguel A. Pinzon]

Hi: I currently have a evaluation version of XP
Professional, running on my system, I am planning to get
the real program, and I have a couple of questions:
1-Do I qualify for an update? or do I need to get the
full version?
2-If I get the full version, do I need to wipe out all my
data, in order to install it?, do I need to remove the
existing version?.
3-Does the full version includes documentation, manuals?
TIA
Miguel

Migual --

Evaluation versions of Windows XP do not qualify
for using the upgrade version of XP. You need to
purchase the "full retail version" of Windows XP,
then perform a "repair install".
