1) When doing a clean install of Windows XP Home do I need more than the upgrade version

2) I want to remove windows 2000 professional from my home computer and upgrade to Windows XP Home. I have learned that you cant go Windows 2000 to Windows XP Home. Could I use an old version of Windows 98 upgrade to make this work

Thanks
Stev

upgrade to Windows XP Home. I have learned that you cant go Windows 2000 to

As above yes.
 
Steve;

Yo do NOT have to install or reinstall a previous version
of Windows. You can use the Win98 CD as the qualifying media.

[[If you are using the upgrade version of XP on a computer without any
version of Windows currently installed, this is where you will replace the
XP CD with your qualifying CD, XP setup will scan the qualifying CD and
instruct you to replace it with the XP CD to continue XP setup; otherwise,
you will not see this screen. Clean install qualifying media can be any of
the following Win NT3.51, 4.0, 2000, Win 95, 98, Me.]]
