Upgrade of XP home -> Xp pro

[Hans]

Hi,

When trying to upgrade my swedish version of XP Home to an
english version of XP Pro it doesn't work. It complains
about the language. Is ther a way around this, or do i
have to re-install it?

Hi

It won't work. You will have to 'clean' install an English Retail version of Windows XP.

You'll need to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the
language version you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".
