RE: Upgrade to Win XP Pro
Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance
Thier is no upgrade from home to pro,as microsoft says "A clean installation
from home to pro".You may get pro to install over home but then again maybe
not....Try installing xp pro cd,boot to cd,select install xp,new
installation,delete
the partition (home) create one,then let xp pro format the hd and install.
