i currently have windows home and would like to upgrade to professional. how can i do this and what are the hazards.
 
Hi,

Purchase a copy of WinXP Pro Upgrade. If the machine supports WinXP Home,
then it should support WinXP Pro. If the system came preinstalled, you
should check for any needed drivers from the manufacturer to support the
retail version of WinXP.

WinXP is designed to install and upgrade the existing operating
system while simultaneously preserving your applications and data, and
translating as many personalized settings as possible. The process is
designed to be, and normally is, quite painless. That said, things
can go wrong, in a small number of cases. If your data is at all
important to you, back it up before proceeding.

The upgrade from WinXP Home to WinXP Pro, in particular, should go
smoothly, as both operating systems use the same kernel.
