I’m basically a MAC person and my wife a PC person, so I know
both operating systems, though I know Mac better. Recently my
wife, who is not very computer smart (sorry Nancy), asked me to
fix up her computer. I discovered that she was running an illegal
copy of Windows XP Professional, I wouldn’t get into how this
happened, I’ll just say that I disapprove of this practice and the
maintenance problems it causes. By the way she was unaware of
it.
My question is: Can I install a legal copy without loosing all her
settings and should I wait for the new Windows operating
system to come out, which rumor says will be late this year? I
don’t want spend the money twice in one year.
Also, I’m a little confused as to which Windows XP Professional
package I would use.
I need advise.
