I want to upgrade from xp home to xp pro and want to know:

a) can this be done?
b) if so, would programs installed after the upgrade be
lost if I went back to xp home (ie similar to upgrading
from 95 to 98)?

Thanks,

Steve
 
a) Yes, use the "retail upgrade version of XP Pro.

b) Select the default "Upgrade" option during setup.
Do not select "New Installation".
Once you upgrade to XP Pro, you cannot return to
XP Home unless you reformat your drive and reinstall
XP Home Edition.
