If I want to upgrade to Windows XP from Windows 2000, do I have to erase/uninstall any of the software?

Question

Or does it do that automatically when I put in the disc and install the new software because they are both Microsoft?

Answer 1

If you bought the upgrade disc, just follow the directions given. The upgrade disc uses the core kernel of 2000 to build XP from. It wont remove any of your files, it will simply just overwrite the 2000.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

It gives you another option as well, If you upgrade to XP as long as you still have 2000 in its system restore point memory you could restore back to 2000 at any time without having to completely reformat it with your master CD
