Upgrade from XP Home .. to XP Professional

[David Howell]

I need to move my personal computer that came with XP Home
... to become a part of my office Network.

My systems consultant says I need to upgrade to XP Pro ..
which I am happy to do .

Looking at the XP Pro Upgrade Software .. it does not
mention an upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro..

Can anyone tell me what to buy .. and how to do it please ?

Thanks

This web page shows that you can upgrade Home to Pro:

The XP Pro Upgrade is what you need. While running XP Home, insert
the disk and follow the prompts to upgrade to Pro.
