Evaluation edition of XP Pro

[Ron McCants]

I recently purchased a computer with an evaluation edition
of XP Pro. What are my options?
Can I buy just an upgrade version?
If I need a full version, can I buy the Home Edition?

It is for my brand new business and I need to keep costs
low.

Thanks!

You'll have to purchase a conventional "full retail version" of
Windows XP Professional and perform a "repair install". =20
Installing XP Home will require a reformat of the hard drive.
