Solve : Changing OS from Windows 2000 to XP Home?

Answer»

I am new to this site, I am no guru, but I need assistance with the following:
I recently purchased a Majicjac phone connector, when trying to install, I was advised that My OS was not compatible, I contacted the Majicjac Company and they advised I had to use MS XP in order to WORK. I have two computers at home; one has Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and the other Windows XP Home. I am not sure how to change OS, or if this is the right way to go. I was advised by the Majicjac company that I would be UPGRADING OS -- Is that TRUE? I am not sure if I can use the disc provided when I purchased the XP to my other computer (is that illegal?) Do I have to backup all my files before performing update? Will I loose any files if I do not backup?
My computer info is as follows:

Welcome to the forum...

If the company states the device will not work on the computer running Windows 2000 Pro...then, you can either choose to upgrade that computer to XP...or install the software on the other computer already running XP.


You cannot use the XP disc from your other PC. You have to purchase another licensed copy...

The choice is yours to make.Quote from: latindancer1966 on June 09, 2008, 10:59:33 AM

Are you sure you don't mean MagicJack?



As SAVIOUR said, you need to purchase an upgrade version of XP for the Windows 2000 computer or else use the computer that has XP already.
