Of course you can run two versions on one computer but not upgrade all versions. Only some will upgrade.

I once had 2000 but I may have gone to ME before XP and so I don't know about whether an upgrade is possble, but upgrade has two meanings. One has a financial meaning, that not being able to upgrade means that you have to buy a full, high priced version. The other meaning that you can't choose the upgrade install and thus must choose to format the drive. I don't know for certain about either, but I have learned that MS upgrade rules are not as stringent as we once thought. I have installed versions of Windows on more than one PC and installed the same version on more than one computer simultaneously.
