I have On my Laptop Windows XP Home Edition.
My computer has recently become clogged in spyware and viruses and have not been removed by 3 diffrent anti-virus programs, causing my laptop to work incredibly slowly. :unch:
I have now got a Windows XP Professional Edition CD which i have tried to install but i get the classic "Windows Installation cannot continue as the operating system you are trying to install is older than the version on your computer" message (words to that extent)
And i would like to know how can i bypass this error and put Windows Professional Edition on my laptop to replace Home Edition?
A friend of mine said something about Booting off the CD in the BIOS menu but that went in one ear out the other.
If someone could explain how i could do it then please let me know i would be very grateful:-
