Upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro

[Guest]

Hello,

I need to perform this upgrade on a wide scale and I have a few questions.
Setup Manager that ships on the Windows XP CD seems to have a comprehensive
range of setup options for *new* installations. I need to know if I can use
Setup Manager to create an unattend.txt for an *upgrade* and not lose each
computers programs and settings. If Setup Manager does not work well with
upgrades, is there another deployment solution available?

Thanks,

Hello,

This doesn't go into much details about upgrades from XP Home to XP
Professional. Can someone elaborate further on how we will make the
unattended upgrade work with keep old settings in tact?

Thanks,
