Pro will just do the upgrade from the CD if you select that option. If it's OEM Home to retail Pro it can get complicated. Should you purchase an OEM license version of XP? faq779-4004 XP Home > Pro confusion thread779-404276 XP Home to Pro Upgrade thread779-624396 http://groups.google.com/groups?sou...UTF-8&q="upgrade+home+to+pro"+problem+windows How bad is upgrade from XP home to XP pro? thread779-472923 Upvote 0 Downvote
