windows upgrade
Greetings --
Probably. Have you made sure that your PC's hardware components are capable of supporting WinXP? This information will be found at the PC's manufacturer's web site, and on Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility List: (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp) Additionally, run Microsoft WinXP Upgrade Advisor to see if you have any incompatible hardware components or applications. You should, before proceeding, take a few minutes to ensure that there are WinXP device drivers available for all of the machine's components. There may not be, if the PC was specifically designed for Win98/Me. Also bear in mind that PCs designed for, sold and run fine with Win9x/Me very often do not meet WinXP's much more stringent hardware quality requirements. This is particularly true of many models in Compaq's consumer-class Presario product line or HP's consumer-class Pavilion product line. WinXP, like WinNT and Win2K before it, is quite sensitive to borderline defective hardware (particularly motherboards, RAM and hard drives) that will still support Win9x.

Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH "Ron Marinelli" wrote in message ... Can I updrade from Windows 98 directly to Windows XP Home Eddition ? |
