WINDOWS XP64 UPGRADE

[Guest]

I installed a 180-day trial software edition of Windows XP Professional x64.
The time period is up and I am getting messages on my computer that say that
the computer will shutdown in one hour. I have purchased a new licensed
edition. How can I upgrade my trial edition without losing any data or
changing anything on my computer?

Try searching or asking in the 64bit newsgroup

This should be asked in the 64bit group, but since I'm here ...

Doing a repair install from your licensed CD will give the
opportunity to enter the new key number.

Hi

A 'Repair' install from the new CD and then change the PK when asked for it.
