Rating:  - upgrade to REinstall Windows XP
I needed to reinstall Windows XP, of course Microsoft doesn't allow using the same OS software code when you update your computer. My solution to it was to purchase the Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade disk and use that product code. It worked out great and my Windows was then activated by micosoft. It's as sad thing that Micosoft is so greedy and causes such problems.
Rating:  - Win 2000 will NOT upgrade!
I bought this to upgrade a Win 2000 pc because we bought a couple of new Ipods. This is not the right product, it did not even try to do the install. It looks like I will have to buy the full version for twice as much.

I would only buy this on a limited budget.

The second best option is to do an install of XP over an existing OS, using the existing OS to boot up, but then using this CD to remove the old OS and install a fresh XP installation. ... Read More
Rating: - Works, but may require patience.
I used this to upgrade from Me. Follow the directions, and UNLESS YOU GET AN ERROR MESSAGE TELLING YOU THAT YOU CANNOT PROCEED, JUST LET IT RUN IT'S COURSE. FOR ME IT TOOK ABOUT 48 HOURS. After installation, you may get a two tone blue screen saying that it needs to check disks, if so, let it; this also took a long time (but was part of the 48 hours). A few days after installation, install XP Service Pack 3, to cover additional vulnerabilities. You may occasionally get that blue screen upon start ... Read More
