Having Win XP Home with SP2 and SP3, may I do an upgrade with Win XP Pro with
SP2 ?


In addition to Malke's good advice, let me add the following question:

Are you sure you want to do this? Are you aware that XP Home and
Professional are identical except that Professional includes a few
features (mostly related to security and networking) missing from
Home? Most home users don't need and would never use these extra
features and will see no benefits by upgrading.

Also note another point, not included in any of the above:
Professional allows ten concurrent network connections, and Home only
five.
