Posted January 19, 200916 yr It appears my total lack of IT knowledge is hampering any effort to correct my issues with my Home version of XP, so my next foolish question is, I'm able to get a Legal version of XP Pro and I would like to know if it's possible to install it over my Home version without having to format my hard drive first, as there many files I can't afford to lose. Many thanks for your time Skynard
January 19, 200916 yr If there are many files you cant afford to loose, then you should have them backed up by now. You can keep on using XP Home, because there are not that much difference with XP Home and XP Pro.
