Options for upgrading Windows 2000 to XP Home?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi,
I'd like to upgrade my home computer, running Windows 2000 to XP Home.
I understand that the XP home upgrade is for users of Windows 98 or ME. I
do also have windows 98, but it is not installed on any machine. My
question is, can I upgrade 2000 Pro to XP Home? TIA.

Unfortunately, you can't upgrade Win2k to XP Home - it must be XP Pro, but
you can wipe the hard drive clean and install XP Home fresh, using the Win98
or Win2k CD as proof of qualifying upgrade product.
