I have a laptop which came preinstalled with XPSP1, now I am planning to
install SP2 on it, but in the time since SP1 I have kept it updated with
hotfixes and win updates etc. To the full extent, now I can see so many
hotfixes etc installed already on it. I can see a big list in the Control
panel -> add remove programs.
I have just counted them they are 21 of them including 3 XP SP2 hotfixes!
My question is should I uninstall all of these before installing SP2? As
SP's are cumulative it should contain all of these in it, it will even
eliminate the 21 entries in the add remove programs menu.
I am not very sure if this is right hence an expert opinion is requested.
Thanks in advance,
