.... purchasing an "upgrade" license for WinXP Pro. You can't use a full version of the OS to upgrade. However, those upgrade copies are no longer available in retail stores.

You might call Microsoft and ask if it is possible and, if so, where you can purchase it.

You may be thinking OEM versions that often will not allow an upgrade.

You should back up any files you believe you may need just in case and that way you won't be sorry. If you are not sure what files you may need then you should make an image of the hard drive before you upgrade. Seagate has a free tool on their website you can use for making images. I have never had a problem when upgrading but you just never know. Good Luck.
