Ugrading XP

[Jeff]

Can someone help me? I have a laptop with the Spanish
version of windows XP on it. I want to reformat it and
put English XP on it. Am I going to run into any issues
related to this?? Thanks

No. Buy english xp, format, and install.

No, there should be no problem(s) if you reformat and use an English version
of Windows XP.

Have a look:

So, your plan to reformat the harddrive and then install the English version
of Windows XP should be good.

Should be OK *provided* it is not a make with highly proprietary
hardware - eg Compaq - in which case you need to go to the maker.
