Solve : Windows XP home edition upgrade? |
|
Answer» If I already have windows XP, but need a disk because the origianal one has been LOST, in order to re-INSTALL it, will a home edition upgrade disk work? I highly recommend that purchase...if you don't mind losing that data you could upgrade to XPPro. What are the changes and benefits of Pro?Better networking support; security features and more Administrator controls are a few that come to mind... Some HomeworkHosko........ Quote If I already have windows XP, but need a disk because the origianal one has been lost, in order to re-install it, will a home edition upgrade disk work? I would be considering the full win XP cd and one with SP2 included. The thing about using a xp update is .......it looks for the version thats already installed . for example , if you had Win 98 installed ...... and you ran the Win xp update , it looks for Win 98 ...... and will ask you to insert that cd ...to confirm and then if allows the update it will proceed. So if you have a Win 98 original cd , then the XP update cd would work ........however you can't use a Win XP update cd to do a format and clean install of XP . I would be checking this further before you invest in a update cd which probably won't work. dl65 But if you have a friend with a Win98 CD........ |
