Hmmmm... not 1000% sure now. Im almost positive it does a low level search for an operating system. | |

I think it still needs another version of windows as the Base install though... I know that was the case when someone I know was upgrading from 98 to Me (BIGGEST mistake ever!) | |

I thought you could do a fresh install with an upgrade copy of XP? It will prompt you for the windows ME disc during installation to check that you qualify for the upgrade. | |

Right, I shall be puirchasing the upgrade pack tonight but I am unsure as to what happens to all programs I have installed? DO they get updated to run on XP or do I need to re-install programs? ALso, we have like Office 2000 suite (Word/Works/Money 2000) - do these get updated or do I lose these? Or does the upgrade contain an up to date version of Office :boggle: |
