Moving from WINXP Home SP2 to WINXP Proffesional

[Mark Jones]

Is there a recognised upgrade path from XP Home to XP
Professional. I currently have SP2 Home installed on my
machine.
Any help would be glady accepted.

Yes! The standard XP Pro SP2 upgrade.

Yes you can upgrade from Home to Pro. However if you've installed SP2 on
Home check here http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/upgrade_tips.htm

Yes, you can upgrade XP Home to Professional. There is no special
upgrade version just for this, but the regular XP Professional
Upgrade works fine (although it doesn't say so on the box).



But are you sure you want to do this? Are you aware that XP Home
and Professional are identical except that Professional includes
a few features (mostly related to security and networking)
missing from Home? Most home users don't need and would never use
these extra features and will see no benefits by upgrading.
