I also have an old ME system which I was wondering if I could "upgrade" to
XP? My husband's business data is on that system, and the new sofware
upgrades he received are not compatible with ME. IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE
ME TO XP? I've contacted that website you noted for a possible "legal" copy
of XP. Any info you might offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you so very much.

Yes, although in many cases the first command before installing the new
operating system will be to FORMAT your hard drive. As to which of many
possible operating systems you choose to install dispends upon both the
capabilities of your hardware and your own preferences. If however you are
looking for a FREE upgrade that can be downloaded I would suggest you start
by looking at the various Linux based offerings available such as Ubuntu.

If by compatible you mean another Windows operating system then it is
possible that XP might run on your PC (details required) although you may
have difficulty in finding a legal copy for purchase as Microsoft now only
offers Vista in its various flavours and later this year, Windows 7.
Running Vista on Win Me era hardware however is at best problematic.
