Upgrading to XP Pro
"RJ" wrote: I have a registered copy of Win98SE and would like to migrate to WindowsXP Pro. If I want to minimize the effort to make this transistion, what are my best bets? Can I buy the upgrade version, or can I also upgrade using a full featured version? Or does the full featured version mean I will have to pretty much wipe out my harddrive and then start from scratch. Also, I see many folks selling OEM versions, versus with or without the COE....isn't the COE required before the program will be able to be registered, and doesn't XP require registration before it will function? Anyway, trying to sort thru my installation concerns and purchase options (seem to be as many of those as Carter has pills). I don't mind saving money, but I'd also like to be legal in the process. TIA, Rob Dont Worry you can upgrade .. but do a new install.. don't format drive install in the same partition. if that is a 32bit partition |
