Yes it is possible. If your friend has XP Home on it, it would mean that there should be conceivable hardware conflicts either, which makes it easier.
PS: Ask him/her to make sure that the device drivers or the XP drivers CD is available for any device that might not be natively supported by XP. And as usual back up all important data before attempting such changes. |

Hi Statica,
can it just be done as an upgrade or do you have to reinstall? |
