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 -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "Mark Jones" wrote in message ...

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. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
