Upgrade to XP Pro

I've purchased some pc's with Home Edition and need to upgrade to XP Pro. Is
there a XP Pro Upgrade or do I just purchase the XP Pro software? I'm trying
to save on the difference and purchasing the XP Pro is not cheap but I have
yet to find an Upgrade XP Pro software.
If anyone can answere my question please help ASAP.

thanks

Yes, there is an upgrade version of XP Pro.

I can't imagine not being able to find it. Most computer retailers carry it
if they sell software. Check the following:

How long since you purchased those PCs? If they have just been
purchased then contact the vendor about exchanging the OEM Windows XP
Home for OEM Windows XP Pro. It will have to be completely
reinstalled but the cost may be cheaper than purchasing the retail
upgrade version of XP Pro.

And the retail upgrade to XP Pro should be available from any major
computer or office supply store.

Good luck
