All the evaluation versions are XP Pro so you need a retail version of XP
Pro to upgrade. Either a Windows Upgrade version or a Full version should
work nicely as this is a supported upgrade.

Do a decent disk cleanup, turn off your AV, pop the XP Pro CD into the drive
and select Install->Upgrade [recommended]

Harry, when did they make the evaluation versions qualifiers for
the upgrade? The web site still says that they're not.
