Thanks for the help, everyone. I figured the best thing to do to be on the safe side would just be to order the full version so I've already ordered that and I'll send the upgrade back when I get it. Just hope it works now.

I have some CDs which I think can be used to install Windows ME on my system - however, they're not official Microsoft CDs as the computer came with ME but without any discs to install it from so we had to send away for some replacement ones and got five CDs. I have no idea what they all do, there are no instructions. I don't know if I'd want to risk putting ME back on to my system and then using the upgrade to install XP, do you think this could work? It would be cheaper (c'mon, I'm only 17, I can't afford loads of money ). But I know it would take a lot of time not to mention I'd risk losing everything I have saved on the computer. Will the upgrade I bought actually provide me with a new valid product number or do I already need to have one?

Hey guys. First post and I apologise if there's a similar post floating around somewhere, but I just need an answer quick. Anyway, I found out I was running on a pirated copy of Windows XP so I've not been able to install any Service Packs. So I just puchased a legal copy from Amazon - although I probably should have thought it over better beforehand because I purchased this: Windows XP Home Upgrade And my question is, will it allow me to install XP considering what I currently have on my computer is a pirate copy? Or should I buy the regular edition of XP (not upgrade)? I just don't want to end up getting this and trying to install just to be told that I'm not allowed to for whatever reason because then Amazon probably won't allow me to return it and it'll be a complete waste of £100. Thanks.
