Which is the best way, an upgrade or the full version??
Also, Retail or OEM??
You may save some money by going with an upgrade version provided you have the original CD from ME. Retail gives you MS support, OEM doesn't.
Do I need to remove the Me or will it be erased automatically??
XP will take care of these details, but backup your unlosable data first to some external source. On a clean install programs and drivers need to be reloaded. The advantage here is you do not take any corrupted files with you to XP.
I'm a rookie here and currently using Windows ME and
I want to upgrade to XP Professional. I have a Dell Dimension 8100 with 512 RAM.
Which is the best way, an upgrade or the full version??
Also, Retail or OEM??
Do I need to remove the Me or will it be erased automatically??
