xp upgrade question

[is0lized]

if i buy a computer with XP Home, can i upgrade it to xp Pro?


would this get rid of the awful stuff in home? or would a clean install be better?

I tried the same on my sisters computer, but I had to do a clean install.

Windows XP Home can upgrade to XP Pro, but XP Pro cannot "upgrade" to XP Home.

of course, many software and O/S won't let u downgrade

Well if you buy a computer apart from Drivers and Windows there will not be other software. So format your HDD and install XP Pro.

I would actually reccomend XP home unless you need all the extra components or have a slow computer.
