Hi everyone,

I have a three machine LAN, with wireless router, each machine running XP
Home SP2 very well. No problems at all. I'm going to upgrade one machine
to XP Pro SP2 so that I can use Remote Desktop.

Will the upgrade overwrite any current settings on that machine?
Will I have to set up the network again?

I have full backups on external drives (Ghost), so I'm not worried about
this, just curious before I install XP Pro.

Regards,
Steve


there 'should' be no problems with this type of upgrade
