I purchased a Sony laptop with Windows XP Home loaded on
it. I want to upgrade to XP Professional because the
network isn't working correctly. I want to load XP Pro
on my desktop so I will have XP Pro on both computers.
What do I need to buy.
 
Greetings --

For installation on two computers, you obviously need two WinXP
Pro licenses. You can use a WinXP Pro Upgrade license for the laptop,
but I'm not sure whether you'd need a full version or an upgrade for
the desktop, as you haven't mentioned whether or not there's already a
qualifying OS installed. If the desktop PC has Win98 or later as an
OS, then you can use an upgrade license on it, as well.
