disk. I bought the upgrade win I moved form win98 to xp pro. After a
failed migration attempt, I ended up reformatting the hardrive and then
installing. Had no trouble, well no trouble with the verification of a
previous version, this is a Windows operating system after all.

Subject: windows xp - upgrade or full version?
Just a quick question.
My parents would like to upgrade their OS to Windows XP(I think they are on
win98 now). I'd like for them to go with pro, mostly so that I can remote
desktop when I need to help them with anything.
Amazon shows the upgrade @ $139.99, and the full version for $219.99. My
only concern is that the upgrade will make me have a prior version installed
rather than just ask for the disk of a prior version, making a clean install
a bit of a pain.
Can anyone verify that I can do a clean install and just present it with a
disk?
Also, what is usually the minimum required equipment purchased to get an OEM
copy? Will a stick of ram do?
Where is the best/cheapest place to buy online? I will check around the
local stores but I seem to remember it usually being at around $150.
Thanks!
Matthew
