Is it possible to upgrade Windows professional XP 2002 SP3 of Windows 2003 Standard R2?

We have an old computer with Windows XP Pro 2002 SP3 server is installed.  There is also other software that we need on this issue to run new software, we want to install, but the new software is only compatible with Windows 2003 Standard R2.  So is it possible to XP to Windows 2003 Standard R2 level so that the settings and software on it are left alone - as it is with the Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 7?

Thank you!
Jon

No, there is no path not upgrading to this version of Windows XP Professional.  You will need to do a clean install, which of course would not preserve your settings and/or other software.

    With Essbase you should not all the problems of your switch/bet far Win 2003 Enterprise Edition.

    If you are moving to x 64 Win Server you will probably have to do a full install on a new machine in which case you will just be transfer (.otl) schema files, etc. for the Essbase Essbase Server to the new. So no effect as long as you install more Essbase on x 64 don't box correctly.

    No. two points:

    1. you can't do an update from XP to 7. You must either make a
    Clean first installation or an upgrade to double - Vista, then 7. I have
    recommend to do a double upgrade, because it doubles
    the risk of problems.

    2. you can't do any kind of update that changes the number of 'bits' of
    Windows from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa.
    So for these two reasons, a new facility would be necessary.

    However, even if a new facility is possible, I recommend
    against it since your time material XP is almost certainly elsewhere
    underpowered to run Windows 7 without problem. And the purchase and upgrading of all
    the necessary equipment is likely to cost more than simply buy a new
    a computer that comes with Windows 7.

    And another point. Switching from XP to Windows 7 will three
    old versions to an old version. In my opinion, it would be much better to
    Go to Windows 8, the current version.

  • Is it still possible to upgrade Windows Me on a very old computer?

    Using an old computer as a spare and it has windows installed and am running out of my router, but if I can get it only updated to vista or something more recent would be great for the children.  I looked, and from what I understand, ME and 98 no longer in the system, and not a lot you can do about them.  Am I stuck with windows me on this computer for ever?

    Minipete

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/get/system-requirements.aspx

    Above is the minimum Vista System Hardware Configuration required to run the operating system.

    Most older computers have not the modern requirements of material in support of Vista or Windows 7.

    And it becomes very expensive try to upgrade.

    An alternative best cheap and reliable (don't forget your motherboard is nearly 10 years old), is to buy a new computer with Vista or Windows7 pre-installed, Windows 7 preference, as is the latest operating system and an improvement over Vista.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 without loss of programs or DATA.

    Windows 7 upgrade

    Running WIN XP and you want to upgrade to Windows 7, but the only way is to do a clean install, however you can do an upgrade to Vista XP and then upgrade to Windows 7? I don't want to really not resettled devices and software. Thank you

    I have not yet tried, but yes, that would be the way to do it. Make sure your XP system is up to date and works as it should without any problem (never a good idea to upgrade if there are problems, which is just one question for the real problems).
    You will also need to make sure that there are some Win7 drivers for the hardware you have. You can go out with Vista drivers on some things, but probably not on everything.

    And before critics jump to say that you should NEVER update, always do a clean install, I must add that I did upgrades from any version of Windows from Win3.1, and the only time that I had a problem was from ME to XP. And who made no difference on how I did it because the problem was with the third IDE driver that was not under XP in any case. Suffice it to say "... :-)

  • Is it possible to upgrade Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 has to Service Pack 3?

    I have the original disc of the product. It came as Windows XP SP1a. At in the past (a few years ago), I've upgraded to SP2. I started to receive a STOP error message. I tried to repair the installation of Windows XP Edition family. I can't say for sure right now, but it seems that SP2 just disappeared..., do not know immediately. I always face the STOP error.

    When I get things and rerun, can I put SP1a directly to SP3? I don't know the rules relating to the upgrade.

    Ask the same question in a different way..., can I've actually updated to SP3 Service Pack while jumping on SP2?

    Windows XP Home Edition has always been easy to use. I wouldn't lose it.

    The answer could be just a YES or a no thank you for your time.

    I don't know the rules relating to the upgrade.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Windows 8.1 Overview to 8.1?

    I installed Windows 8.1 Overview, my restore disk will not work. Once all of the 8.1 release comes out, I'll be able to preview Windows 8.1 to the full release, without my recovery media? I tried creating a new recovery disk, which doesn't work anymore.

    You won't need a recovery media to upgrade to 8.1

  • Windows 2003 Standard R2 x 64

    Hello

    Not been able to create my own VM for this OS because the OS complain that the CPU of the VM are 32-bit only, even if I used the x 64 option when you specify the VM - very annoying. Went through all the forums and it seems without solution. So I thought, I know, I'm going to download a copy of the camera store - does not seem to exist.

    Any ideas or am I hitting my head against a virtual wall...

    It's my first experience with ESXi - about to meet MS or Xen...

    2. start the virtual machine and pressing F2 to get the PhoenixBIOS virtual machine settings - change anything remotely like VT here.

    3. the BIOS of the host (TIGI2U) machine. Nothing here even remotely, as parameters of VT

    It's the physical machines, not the virtual machine BIOS.  (So #3 in your list, not #2).  It is often under a submenu "Advanced settings" or something else.  If it's an AMD CPU, ir can be labeled "AMD - V".  For Intel processors, it's "VT".

    Some machines require an update of the BIOS to give options for VT if you do not have the ability to enable VT or AMD - V, then you will probably not be able to run any 64-bit VMs, whether you use MS Virtual Server/Hyper-V or Xen.

  • e1000 adapter on 32-bit, windows 2003 Standard - error

    Hello

    I have this installed on a virtual machine, works fine, boots OK, but when I try to clone it or vmtion I get error

    Virtual Ethernet "network adapter 1' is of a type that is not soustenans. This isn't a limitation of hospitality in general, but the vurtual machines configured on this host guest OS.

    Can / should I ignore this warning?

    e1000 is used for 64-bit systems because it was available in most of the new 64-bit OS. That is why you do not receive this message more if you change the setting to 64-bit (but don't do this).

    Vmxnet (improved) is very good for 32 bit systems. What performance issues do you have?

    Hello

    I put t see no reason why it would not be possible to upgrade the OS to Win XP Pro.
    You uprising received recovery Toshiba CD with WinXP home and all drivers and utilities was already preinstalled on this image.

    If you want to upgrade the operating system, you can buy an original CD of Microsoft Windows XP Pro and you will need to install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities in the correct order. For most installation guide line is placed on the site driver of Toshiba.

    I think that everything must be clear, that I forgot something. Windows XP Home and Pro uses the same drivers. Then you should be able to use the same drivers that are available on the page

    Good luck
