You
can upgrade a computer that runs Windows 98, 98SE, or
Me to Windows XP Home Edition. Those same versions,
along with Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and Windows 2000
Professional, can be upgraded to Windows XP Professional.
(1).To ensure a smooth upgrade and avoid networking
problems, follow these tips before starting the upgrade:
(2)Install
all network cards. XP will detect them and automatically
install the right drivers.
(3)Have
your Internet connection available. The XP setup process
will connect to a Microsoft server to download the latest
setup files, including changes that have been made since
XP was released.
Some
programs are incompatible with XP and can cause networking
problems. Un-install these programs. After the upgrade
is complete and the network is working, re-install XP-compatible
versions of these programs: Internet Connection Sharing,
NAT, Proxy Server Anti-Virus Firewall.
