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
