where to ask question

[~~Seska_Vedek~~]

Where should I ask about WinXp Pro? Can you upgrade from Home to Pro or
will it take another $100?

You can upgrade from Home to Pro but it will cost you for the upgrade.

You can upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro, but it will probably take more than
$100.

Yes.

The upgrade isn't free, if that's what you're asking. There is no
special upgrade version just for this, but the regular XP
Professional Upgrade works fine (although it doesn't say so on
the box).

But 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.
