Dear All,
I have checked previous posts on upgrading XP Home to XP Professional, but I
couldn't see an aswer to my question. If it has then I apologise in advance.
I have the Home version with SP2 installed on a laptop and I would like to
replace the operating system with XP Professional version.
I have an OEM license for XP PRO. I have a disk which has the XP PRO version
SP1a. This is not an upgrade XP PRO disk but just an ordinary full operating
system disk. Will this only install another copy rather than overwrite the
previous installation?
When I run the installation it advises me that it will install another
operating system along side my one on the same drive (my installed programs
will not work) and not upgrade my current version.
Will this disk not work?
Thanks again.
