I now have Microsoft Millennium and would like to load
Microsoft XP Home Edition. What process do I go through
to do this? Your help is surely appreciated!!
 
You need to go to a software store and buy a copy of
Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade. Or you can order it
online from any number of online sellers. Once you have
it, just insert the CD disk and the upgrade process should
start.

If you make the determination that your hardware is
capable of running XP satisfactorily, it is possible to
make a clean installation with an upgrade CD. You would
need to have your Windows ME CD at hand, so that when the
Installation Wizard asks for the ME CD to be inserted in
the CD drive, you can do so. You will be instructed when
to remove the ME CD and reinsert the XP CD. Installation
will then proceed.
