Upgrade to WinXP Pro from Home
Will an upgrade perform a 'clean' install i.e. delete all files/applications
on my PC leaving just the upgrade? Thanks Jackie |

Upgrade to WinXP Pro from Home
If you choose the upgrade option, no, it will leave your files and settings
intact. If you're asking if you can do a clean install with the Upgrade CD, the answer is yes. You'll just have to provide your previous version for verification. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thanks Jackie The XP Upgrade CD is capable of performing an "upgrade install" or a "clean install." If you opt to perform a clean install, the XP setup program will ask to see "proof" that you qualify for the price of the less expensive upgrade CD. Insert the CD for your previous operating system when prompted. After the check, remove it. Replace the XP CD in the CDRom drive and setup will continue. PS: The directions for doing both types of installs are in the XP manual that comes in the box with the CD. Sharon F MS MVP [Shell/User] |
