We had a PC that was running an evaluation copy of Windows 2000, which just expired. We have the full desktop version now; is there a way to "convert" to one of our real W2K copies, rather than go through an entire reload process?

You may be able to do a Repair install,but you will need to use the full version setup disk and cd-rom,so it is not necessarily a conversion.

Put the "real" version CD in the machine and choose Reinstall. Should be a quick operation and your files won't be disturbed.
