I have three computers, 2 came with xp and one with
windows me. How do i go about getting permission to
upgrade the me computer with xp disk i have for other 2
computers. thanx, Bruce
 
Hi, Bruce.

Permission? You don't need permission. You need to go buy a copy of WinXP.
You can choose between WinXP Professional and WinXP Home Edition. Your
WinME will qualify you for the lower price for the upgrade version of
either.

Don't try to use your OEM disk to install WinXP on your WinME computer,
though. First, the OEM probably activated that copy of WinXP in a way that
permanently tied it to that machine. Secondly, you will need the
25-character Product Key to complete the installation on your WinME machine,
and no number that you presently have will work. You will need the key that
will come with your new copy of WinXP.
