I am an American in Japan. I just got a job off base but they have Japanese
based Windows XP Pro version. Is there a way that I can convert it to an
English version?

Greetings --

You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the OS
to another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
English WinXP to perform a clean installation.
