Hello, I have a problem with a PC. The system has a upgrade version of XP on it and seems to take 10 mins to boot up. Anyone know whats going on?
I have XP on my home PC, it's fine and has more stuff on it.
Could I need a fresh install?

Not tried it with XP, but certainly in the past, starting with WinME or 98, and upgrading t0 2000 left a very dodgy OS at the end.
Best bet is to start from scratch in my experience.
