I bought XP Pro a couple of years ago, never installed it. I recently bought
a new desk top that only had XP home, can I install my older upgrade version
on the newer XP Home edition?
 
Make a new Windows XP Pro CD with SP2 slipstreamed
and then perform the upgrade installation with the new CD.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

or

AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)
