[Peter]

....as the header say...anything I should be aware of. I shall be purchasing
a full (rather than OEM) XP Pro SP2 upgrade.? My current setup is XP Home
SP2 OEM fully updated.

In Peter had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

setup is XP Home SP2 OEM fully updated.

Backup first.

Beyond that you should be okay. You may need to do some of the updates again
but other than that you should be okay. If it's OEM XP Home SP2 then make
sure it's SP2 on the upgrade as well. Other than that you should be all set
but always backup before doing something like this.
