Upgrade from XP Home to XP pro
Thanks
-----Original Message----- Greetings -- The WinXP Pro Upgrade works on WinXP Home. (Apparently, the Microsoft executive who approved the packaging design for the WinXP Pro Upgrade box didn't consider the possibility that some peoples' requirements could change after purchasing WinXP Home, or that some people might not do the necessary research to make sure that they bought the correct version of WinXP the first time.) Upgrading to WinXP from Previous Versions of Windows http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...obuy/upgrading /matrix.asp You can easily upgrade from WinXP Home to WinXP Pro. Of course, there are no iron-clad, 100% guarantees when it comes to updating any kind of computer software, much less an operating system. WinXP is designed to install and upgrade the existing operating system while simultaneously preserving your data and translating as many personalized settings as possible. The process is designed to be, and normally is, quite painless. That said, things can go wrong, in a small number of cases. If your data is at all important to you, back it up before proceeding.

Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH "Stephen Zavell" wrote in message ... I want to upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro so my operating system matches my office system. When I look at the XP Pro upgrade boxes it mentions several past operating systems it will upgrade but XP Home is not one of them. The Mircosoft Web site seems to indicate this upgrade can be done. DO I need a special Upgrade Pro copy to upgrade?....or will the XP Pro upgrade boxes I see in the store work even though they do not mention upgrading from XP Home operating system to XP pro? Thanks Stephen . |
