XP upgrade and upgrade w/ additional license
I am currently running Win98SE on my desktop and laptop
and I am looking to upgrade to Windows XP Home Edition. I have a couple of questions I am hoping the forum is able to answer. First, my desktop is running an OEM version of Win98SE, can I use the XP Upgrade or is it going to require the full install? (I do have a licensed version of Win95 can I use that disk when I load XP?). Second, and this one is very confusing, when I go to the Staples site to price XP I find the following: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade Version $99.00 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade Additional License $118.00 My question is, does this mean buying the Upgrade w/ Additional License I will get 2 licenses for $118? Unfortunately the staples site does not make this clear. When I talked to the store, they knew less than I. Thanx |

XP upgrade and upgrade w/ additional license
Hi,
1) Yes you may use a retail version on your Windows 98 OEM machine. 2) To purchase an extra licence see the site below. Its not two licences for $118. You ccan save about 15% purchasing the extra licence instead of the boxed product. Additional Licenses for Windows XP Home Edition http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...buy/addlic.asp Additional Licenses for Windows XP Pro Edition http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...buy/addlic.asp "John" wrote in message ...
