Upgrading XP Pro

[Luis E. Suarez]

Is it safe to upgrade a laptop running Spanish XP Pro to English XP Pro?
The full XP Pro is too expensive and I'm lost running a computer in Spanish,
that's why I'm asking.

"Safe" is irrelevant. What you want to do is not technically
possible.

You cannot upgrade from one language version of the OS to another,
so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of English WinXP
to perform a clean installation.
