I want to put Windows XP Professional (Have licence) on my computer. I have Windows Home Addition.
Do I have to delete Home Edition first, or can I just upload professional. PLEASE HELP.

Choose "clean installation" as in wipe out Windows XP home and reformat the hard drive.. Just insert the disk and go through the wizard and it will give you the option of upgrading versus a clean installation..

You should be able to upgrade (not upload) to Windows professional without needing to uninstall Windows XP home

it depends if the newer version is an OEM or not, if it's serial number starts with OEM then no it won't upgrade and can not be added as a second OS, you would have to reformat the HD to install it, but if it is a full version it will give you the option to upgrade or install as a clean copy, creating a dual boot machine.

definite of corse u can substitute right into a mermaid, and clearly in case you have completed quizes and alway get 'born a mermaid' then this purely proves it to be genuine. So do this reason it works for many.. pass to the coastline tie a vibrant green flag on your head reason its the international Mermaid coloration, and stand interior the water (must be a minimum of ankle deep) chosen your mermaid call and chant it many times. it may take hours yet have confidence me u will improve a fin. prob ultimate to tape and undergo youtube for all of the non believers...

You should be able to install over XP Home. Is the pro version an upgrade?

put the xp pro cd in the puter and reboot. when u get to the part where it ask about the file system, tell it to leave it as is.

i would prefer to delete the first OS and then insatall the pro version......if u have necessary files then back up them in a place and then install the pro.....upgrading may harm ur pc.............or if u have a good requirement, then u can onstall two OS....but don't forget to insatall them in different drives!!!!

You can upgrade to professional, but I would recommend clean install.

yea, you'll need to delete it unless you can run multiple os's on your pc. when you start to install the windows xp pro, it will ask if you want to partition the drive, say yes, and continue as normal

try to put xp on. If it tells you to uninstall the other one that do it first.
