April 20, 200521 yr Just bought a new computer with xp home installed on it,is there anything special i need to do to install xp pro on top of it.Thanks
April 20, 200521 yr If it came with the install disks for included software (if any) then just do a full new install of xp pro, only choose "upgrade" if you got a lot of time invested or software that you can't replace. Upgrade usually works ok when windows is fairly new (ie. before any registry errors creep in) but full install is better. You can do a full install from xp pro "upgrade" disk if you have other windows version. It will check your disk to determine if you already own windows, else will ask you to insert cd if you format the drive first.
