Win Me can be upgraded to XP, both Home & Pro although it is advisable to
first run the XP Upgrade Advisor to check what applications may first have
to be uninstalled and then either reinstalled or even replaced following the
upgrade.

The XP Upgrade Advisor (UpgAdv.exe) can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...e-advisor.aspx but
note that this is a around 32MB is size. The advisor will give you a clue
as to any XP drivers required that aren't on the XP CD and programs for
which you will have to obtain updates. Some applications will have to be
uninstalled prior to upgrading after which they can often be reinstalled
although in some cases the application will first have to be upgraded to an
XP compatible version. The Upgrade Advisor is also included on the XP CD.

For a more extensive discussion of upgrading see Gary Woodruff's article at

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.
