Carey answered the question of "how".

You ask "Is it worth it?"

ONLY YOU can answer that question. WinXP Home and Pro are essentially the
same program. The exceptions have to do with networking and security
settings, with more ability to change settings and operate in a Domain (used
in enterprises, not usually used in home networks).

Is this worth $100 more to you? Do you need it?
