Scarecrow Man Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Windows XP Pro requires a full version of 3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2000, NT4 or XP Home.Windows XP Home requires a full version of 3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2000, NT 4.You can only upgrade Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro, not the other way around.Any version of Windows will work standalone, if it is a Full Version (not an upgrade version).I am unsure about 2003, but I believe it is the same thing as XP. I am also unsure of NT. I believe it works with NT 4.0 but not NT 3.X. You must also have all service packs before updating. For 2000 you need SP4 and NT you need SP6.

andsome Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Be aware that the vast majority of problems on here and other forums have come about after an operating system update. Far better to start with the dedicated O.S. that you prefer in the first instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
