First question. Is your hardware suitable? How much RAM does your system
have and what cpu does it use?

And how do we go about doing this?

By purchasing a copy of XP, Home or Pro, an upgrade version is all you
need, and then following the prompts. I would however first strongly
recommend that you run the upgrade advisor that is on the CD and also
uninstall all AV, firewall and CD/DVD writing software. These can then be
reinstalled once you have upgraded. I would also very strongly advise
that you also back up all of your valuable user data, photos, music,
videos, e-mail, passwords etc. "just in case" you have problems during the
upgrade and need to clean install.

Do not go back on the net until you have at least either installed XP SP2
(you can download this before you do the upgrade from Win Me to XP) or are
behind a router that uses NAT (network address translation) otherwise your
system will be infected by malware within seconds.

Note that copies of XP are no longer freely available for sale as
Microsoft stopped selling XP at the end of June this year other than for
low level systems.
