Hi
I have a pc with Xp Home on it and I am replacing my old Laptop the one I
like come with Xp professional on it .
My question is will there be any issues using these to computers on a
wireless network that I plan to set up in my home.
Will they be able to talk to each other being two different operating
systems or do need to get a laptop with xp home on it.
Many thanks
Ian

They are not two different OSs. Home is EXACTLY the same as Pro , but Pro
has a few security enhancements that Home does not have, that is all.

XP Home and XP Pro will work fine together on a home network.
