Hello all. Im thinking of installing Win2K Pro on my home PC. Its an up to date machine with all the bells and whistles. My question is will WIN2K Pro support my printer, scanner, web cam and various games? I know there are a couple service packs out there but is it a viable home OS yet?

Good point,

Before you atemp to do any upgrade you should check if your hardware is compliant for Windows 2000, there are some cases were you'll need to download drivers and maybe you'll have to update your BIOS.
One very important thing is thatWindows 2000 is based on Windows NT plataform, so therefore some of your current applications might not work.
I would sugest you to go to Microsoft site and find more information about Windows Requirements and your hardware specifications then download the latest drivers for your hardware and as it match go for it.
If you want e-mail me your hardware specification and I'll you you with it.
Regards,
@lberto

Go ahead. If your devices is a more popular brand, it is likely supported if not you can download a W2K support update from the manufacturer. W2K is more stable and secured than win9x.
