Steven Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Originally posted by iconman So it won't delete anything Icons, Programs 4 XP, Service Packs? no its just like going from 98 to XP. it'll keep all your stuff. moving from XP Home To Pro, is the same thing, but in this case your in the same operating system, so all its doing is adding stuff, from what isn't there already. by all means you can do a clean install, but i don't really think its necessary. its not like your coming from an older os to a new one.

iconman Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Ohh.... one more thing how much space do you think ill lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Originally posted by iconman Ohh.... one more thing how much space do you think ill lose? i doubt much if anything, you already have xp installed, like i said its just going to add what isn't there already, or perhaps overwrite some files to give you the professional. maybe you'll lose a few hundred megs? i'm not sure i've never actually done what your attempting to do. don't let that scare you lol, this is a fine upgrade path. you might find that you MAY have to do some new patches or some over after xp pro is installed . like IIS or Something since home edition doesn't have that. when your finished, place your results here, i'm interested. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekrosoft13 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 maybe some of you don't know this, but .net, home and pro is the same thing, only new diffrent registry settings, there is a tool that changes the newest .net server into windows xp pro sp1.

I can't see any reason for having a home ISO except to take up disc space.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
