Upgrading to Win XP Pro...........

I am currently running Windows XP Home Edition, but I am going to upgrade to Windows XP Pro. They are BOTH the full versions, so I was wondering When I finally install the copy of PRO over the copy of HOME, Can I use the copy of HOME on another computer of mine?

Also, does anyone know of any problems they have had if doing an upgrade between both versions of XP rather than a clean install?

Cool

Yes. You have 2 legal copies of XP. One is Home and other is Pro. This would accomodate two computers. The Home version may require you to contact MS when you try to activate but when you explain the situation they will issue you a activation code.
