Hello,

I have win98se on a machine and we have just bought a full copy of XP Pro.

What is the way I upgrade so I don't lose my shortcuts etc.

Thanks

Suzanne
 
The full copy of XP pro needs to be a upgrade version. You also need the SE
disk for it will ask for it during setup. With SE installed boot from the XP
disk and choose upgrade install. This will retain setting that you were
using on SE. Run the upgrade adviser on the xp disk prior to installing XP
to check for compatible hardware and software. Run setup with only mouse and
keyboard attached for fewer setup problem. Jym
