I am looking at buying 2 copies of the Windows XP Home FULL Version
(OEM) and would like to know if all my files will be copied over. My PC's
are presently running on ME. When I installed the "Upgrade" for Windows ME
this was no problem. Do I need to get an "Upgrade" version of XP, or will the
FULL Version work the same?
Thanks,
Don
