I have a Compaq Presario, with Win XP home, OEM preinstalled. Now that the 1
year warranty is finally up, I want to install the retail version of XP Home
and get rid of the presinstalled version.
My question, posed to Compaq tech support, was whether I can install the
upgrade, not full, retail version of XP Home over the existing OEM version
that came preinstalled on the computer. Compaq says NO, that I must purchase
the full version of XP Home.
Is this correct? And, if it is NOT correct, is there some place I can get
step-by-step instructions on how to install the upgrade version?
Thanks.
