Question

I have a laptop that came with xp pro already installed and my home computer is using win 98se which is getting a bit flakey.
What I was wondering is, is it possible to upgrade my home computer to xp pro using the back up disc I got with the laptop, whilest still retaining all the info that is already on my home computer. I have looked in the xp booklet and it does not show how to upgrade from earlier software.

You'd be in breech of the licensing agreement that came with your laptop and committing copyright theft by using the copy of XP on two PCs.
