I am pretty sure you can not buy a copy of media center, you have to get it preinstaled on a pc.

Answer :\n\nYES YES U CAN...\nsee\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/upgrading/sysreqs.mspx\n\nits said "64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features"...\n\nAND\nhttp://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail~dpno~416844~name~Windows+XP+Home+Edition+with+Service+Pack+2+-+Upgrade+Package~mfg~N09-00985+++++++++++.asp\n\nfor the "Service Pack 2"\n\nMy Recommendation :\n\nDON'T DO THAT... buy some RAM (at least 256).... just for the sake of XP.

Go buy the Windows XP Pro software.. and install?

No.  You can always just get a new laptop with XP instead of upgrading to the new Vista.

Well, run the windows XP setup from Windows 2000 and when you're prompted whether to upgrade or new installation, select "new installation" and chose the drive letter in a further step. There you go. Windows XP + Windows 2000 Pro

It would be nice if I was able to tell you that this is possible.  Actually it is impossible. \n\nYou have to purchase a new Windows XP Pro. or XP Home.  If you buy a very small item from an OEM, they will sell you the Windows platform for around $100 or less.   \n\nIf and when you do purchase, please stay there and let the technican install the platform while you wait.  You want to be able to see when the technican starts to download Service Pack 2 and NetFrame Work 2, Windows Media Player 10 or 11 an all of the critcal updates.  As Microsoft will check atleast four times with their WGA tool to verify that the key is valid for each an every download.  \n\nThere are alot of criminal type technicans, who will open a new box with the CD and run it for themselves, friend or member of their family.  Then they use equipment to reseal the package.  An when some poor unknown person comes along they will purchase that platform and Microsoft will say the key is not valid.\n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

You can,but I wouldn't.I would download and install Windows XP Service pack 2,and then go to Windows Update and take all available updates,and then set it to take automatic updates,and keep your Windows XP up to date.You can download Windows XP Service Pack 2 at the site below.

The best thing to do is run the xp cd at startup and once it loads, delete the partition on which xp home was on. Then create a new partition in its place and install xp pro on it.

Hmmmm...not exactly sure. My computer came with XP already installed and I had NO disks that came with mine. Mine had the option to make recovery disks though. Did yours not? If you didn't make recovery disks and it didn't come with any, I don't think you can.
