RE: Is Windows XP Home Edition w/SP 2 Ver 2002 enough to run PC?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi, I am passing by, having posted a question, but have used WIndows XP Home
Edition for 4 years almost constantly...heh. Download and install the SP3
update. Learn how to "burn" a cd image, a cd image is an .ISO file. Download
from Microsoft.com the XPSP3 .ISO image file and use something like Nero (a
cd writing and so on application) to "burn" write the .ISO file to an actual
CD. THen use the cd to update the XP operating system to the SP3 version.
SP3 works way better than SP2 and I have discovered after many installs and
reinstalls of Windows XP Home Edition that this SP3 .ISO image file burned to
a cd and installed this way is most efficient and semes to have a more
favourable result than earlier install methods.

....er, I hope you use a broadband connection to the internet.

I am a newbie on computers, my wife bought a desktop PC from a garrage sale,
50 dollars, cheap, but there is an issue with the Operating System. Somebody
said OS is Windows XP Home edition. There is a problem with password and
other issues. My wife who knows nothing about computers except to type and do
e-mail bought a Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade w/SP 2 Ver 2002 unknown to
me.

Question: Is Windows XP Home Edition w/SP 2 Ver 2002 enough to run PC? Stand
alone? Or this can be used only to upgrade an existing OS of an older version?

Pls. help......
