This may be a stupid questions but, I'm looking at a new
system with XP Home Edition loaded and I have an XP Pro
upgrade sitting in a box at home. Can you upgrade from XP
Home to XP Pro?

Yes. There is no special upgrade version just for this, but the
regular XP Professional Upgrade works fine (although it doesn't
say so on the box).

But are you sure you want to do this? Are you aware that XP Home
and Professional are identical except that Professional includes
a few features (mostly related to security and networking)
missing from Home? Most home users don't need and would never use
these extra features and will see no benefits by upgrading.
