Changing Operating System/s to XP Home

[drs]

I want to change the operating systems of 2 PC's to XP Home. 1 PC is Windows 95 and the other is Windows Me. I want to know the best way to do this.

First ensure that each system will support XP. A basic test can be run from
here http://www.pcpitstop.com/xpready/ A more comprehensive test can be run
with the Windows XP Upgrade Adviser which is on every Windows XP CD and can
be run independent from installing XP or it can be downloaded (large
download) from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/upgrading/advisor.asp

If you plan to upgrade - install overtop - you should be advised that
Windows XP is not designed to upgrade Windows 95 but will upgrade Windows
Me. Gary Woodruff has info on upgrading issues here
