Hello Everyone
I have an IBM ThinkPad G40 that came with XP HOme OEM. So I now bought the Retail version of XP Pro.
The issues I hope can be clarified are:
1) Do I need to uninstall XP Home before I install Pro?
2) Since this is an IBM it came with the Access IBM (Blue Button) and there is no CD as such for the XP Home OEM. So can I put the folder IBMTOOLS containing the drivers onto another system in the network since I do not have a CDW for taking this folder onto a CD?
3) I also have a licensed retail version of Office 2003. So once I install the Pro version I would have to install Office again. So I assume this would "count" as one more installation of Office. Is that correct?
ALl help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Satish
