I am wanting to upgrade from xp home in spanish to xp pro
in english is this a straight forward put the cd in and
let it do it'stuff or do I have to format the hard drive
and start from scratch?
 
One cannot upgrade from one language version of Windows
to another language version of Windows. You'll have to
purchase a "Full English Version" of Windows XP Pro,
reformat your drive and install it "clean".

You cannot upgrade from one language version of the an OS to
another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
English WinXP to perform a clean installation.
