Upgrading from media to pro

[Rich Mayer]

Does microsoft have an upgrade to go from XP Media to XP Pro?

 

[Mark L. Ferguson]

No, Media Center is a 'superset' of Pro, and can't be 'downgraded'. You
would have to do a clean install of Pro.

Transitioning from WinXP MCE to WinXP Pro is a _downgrade_.

WinXP Media Center Edition is a _superset_ (iow, it does
_everything_ WinXP Pro can do (except join a domain), plus contains
additional multi-media features) of WinXP Pro.
