I have a friend that has a Dell Dimension series computer about 2 yrs old,
with 256 mb ram and a 104mb hard drive. The computer came with Win XP Home
installed. He has the Home install CD from Dell along with a disk with
drivers for Home. He has gone and bought Windows XP Pro retail and wants to
install it on his Dell computer. At first thought, I did not think there
should be a problem, but then I got thinking about the drivers.
He has contacted Dell about doing this and got minimal help. The users
manual is not specific about which drivers need to be install.
Will the XP Pro retail find all the drivers needed? If not, then what
drivers are needed for XP Pro and where does he get them? The only drivers
downloads we saw on the Dell support site are generic for the Dimension
series. We did not know which of these would be needed or how to install
them for XP Pro.
If any Dell users can help, we sure would appreciate it.
Thank you
