[dba-Tech] Home to XP

Rocky,

I upgraded a client's XP home machine to XP pro an few months ago and
there have been no hitches that I've seen as a result. I would have
preferred to go the clean rout, but they wanted to upgrade, and purchased
the retail upgrade cd. The upgrade cd is a pretty good deal as it has the
upgrade and full install where the full install only has the full install.
You noted that you had the original version from another machine, which
most likely does not have the upgrade version on the cd.
