Re: Upgrade window XP home edition to XP Professional

Hi there,

Just a question on point 4.
I have a laptop with just the basic WinXP home on it (no other
programs as yet) but obviously I can only disconnect external hardware
(mouse etc) as it is brand new and under warranty,

So the DVD re-writer, card readers etc are still in place.
It night be a silly question, but in the case of my laptop is it still
OK to upgrade ?


Certainly. None of those items are peripherals, anyway. (Peripherals are items like printers, scanners, web cams, etc., that are external to the computer.)
