Upgrading From Xp Home To Xp Pro/corp

[csf797]

This is a real newbie one, but I currently have xp home and just got done d/l windows xp pro corporate. I know i have to burn it to cd to install. (I'm pretty sure) Can I install straight over home ed. or do I have to try to uninstall that first. And if I have to uninstall, is there by any chance just the pro upgrade version available. Thanks

You can install upgrade from home to professional, not certain about corporate. If the installer gives you that option then you know it's ok. Mind you, i would tend to do a clean install anyway, unless that's a major pain in the arse for you.

You'll be able to clean install with a corporate version. If it's professional upgrade, as long as you have a windows disc to prove to the installer you're upgrading, then you'll be fine.
