migrate from Windows NT to Windows XP

You can go to either Microsoft's XP page, or www.pcpitstop.com and check your software and hardware for compatability.

If you can add an extra drive or partition, you can setup a dual-boot configuration until you reach a comfort level with XP.XP Pro has a wizzard that you can use to import your existing configuration into XP. You can do this with either the dual-boot setup, or from a network connection.

I would recommend doing either the dual-boot, or a clean install of XP. There have been numerous postings from users having problems installing an upgrade.

Perhaps the biggest difference that you will see from NT is that most of the tools and utilities are in different menu folders than you are used to.
