Upgrade path from Window 2.0?

[Martin Schmid]

I was wondering if there was a supported upgrade path from Windows 2.0 to
Windows XP.

Thanks,

My friend, Windows 2.0 was released in 1987. It runs on a 286. With less
than 640K ram.

It is very doubtful that your machine can handle windows xp. XP System
requiruements:

If, however i am wrong, there is still no supported upgrade path.

Should your machine meet these requirements, Back up your data. Then
Reformat your Hard drive and install XP.

I couldn't even find an english language web page on Windows 2.0.

Upgrading Windows 98 to Windows XP is possible but not
recommended. Upgrading Windows 2.0 is really off the planet.
As other respondents recommended: Save your data, then
do a fresh installation.

Windows2000 to Windows XP, why would you want to do that?
Lettum get another service pack out first. You do know that if you don't
have the corporate files, two installs will start you calling microsoft to
tell them why you need install again. Unless you want to learn a lot about
your operating system, then go for it.

If it really is 2.0, your hardware dont got the horse power. In that case,
get another box and get ready to spend a boat load on software.
