Upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro?

J

Jeff Powers

I believe that I upgraded from XP home to XP Professional on a system here
at work. But I can't see evidence of that. Could this still have happened
and have evidence of home still floating around on the system? Plus I'm
having connection issues to that computer. I put the upgrad CD in and it
said that I have allready upgraded to latest version. Could you help?

Right click on My Computer/Properties/General Tab and it will tell you
there. It will also tell you if you have SP2 installed.

Yes and it tells me that is is indeed XP Home. So that is what it is?

It would appear to be but try going into Safe Mode and see what it says
after you choose Safe Mode from the list.

I went to safe mode, still says XP Home.When I put the Cd it tells me that I
have a version newer then that of the CD, could that be because service pack
2 is installed?

It sounds like you have XP Home with SP2 installed on the PC and you
have an XP Pro CD without SP2 in hand. You may either "Slipstream" SP2
onto the Pro CD and go from there, or "uninstall" SP2 from the Home
installation and go from that point.
