Hi, I wanted to buy a Windows XP Upgrade Professional to upgrade a Windows XP
Professional machine. Can I do that, or do I have to buy a full retail
version?
 
Did you read your post twice before you hit the "Send" button? You want
to upgrade a "Windows XP Professional machine" to ... Windows XP
Professional?

Yes, I did... The post is correct. The machine in question does not have a
licensed version of XP on it, and I want to give one to the person in
question.
 
And you didn't think that information to be relevant enough to be
included in your original post? Your post was not correct, the correct
question would be something like "How can I replace a pirated Windows XP
product key with a valid one? Or, "How can I upgrade a pirated Windows
XP Pro installation with a legitimate copy, can I simply do an in-place
upgrade to register a legitimate product key?"

running Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP

Thanks that information is useful. The last part of the question though did
not get anwsered. Should I buy the upgrade eddition of Windows XP or the new
XP version?
