  Original title: OEM Windows XP Home SP3 update XP Pro

  Here is a compilation of the messages from another forum regarding
  My problem:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm trying to upgrade a Windows XP Home Sp3 OEM system to
  Windows XP Pro. (There are a few Pro features
  that are not available in the House I now need: (1) the files offline and
  (2) an add-on available for free to Onenote 2007, Top2onenote, requires a Pro).
  I don't want a clean install, but an upgrade. I bought a Windows XP Pro
  Upgrade CD on Ebay that was Windows XP Pro
  Gold (v2002). I'm sure that's true for the following reasons:

  It has been listed as an upgrade, but the CD is not labeled "Upgrade".
  It seems very authentic with all Microsoft holography.
  He came in the standard package of Windows XP (without box),
  and it was sealed.
  The name of volume for the CD is WXPFPP_EN. The Internet,.
  It is the retail of Windows XP Pro RTM (gold)!

  Here are things I tried initially.

  (1) I tried to upgrade to Pro from the purchased CD. It is immediately
  has refused to upgrade indicating the upgrade OS (Pro) is older than the
  installed OS (home)...

  (2) I read about "slipstreaming". "Slipstreaming" allows to integrate
  a service pack with an earlier version of the operating system. I created a
  upgrade XP Pro SP3 with Nlite slipstreamed CD image (and
  Autostreamer later, but it made no difference) from the purchased CD
  and a file containing SP3.

  After you burn the CD and start the upgrade
  (Windows installation), the upgrade process
  product through "information collection."
  "Dynamic update" and "Preparation of Installation" with
  no problems. My computer restarted and returned to
  "Installation preparation". A progress bar called 'Progress '.
  quickly filled to about 90% and the hanging system
  at that time there for about 15 minutes.
  Then, I got the following error message:

  Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration
  information. This indicates an internal Setup error.

  This is where I am stuck. I had to leave the installation at this point.
  My drive is starts raining and I had to restore a backup.

  (3) just for the heck of it, I formatted my hard drive and
  reinstalled my original OEM XP Home SP3 OS (no clean up, no user file).
  I immediately used my XP CD slipstreamed Pro to try one
  upgrade to XP Pro and IT WORKED! I need to find out why the
  properly clean XP Home OS upgraded to XP Pro but my pre-existing
  (with the files users, drivers, etc..) XP Home OS does not level
  successfully to XP Pro.

  Another post:

  Yet once, today, I installed a new copy of OEM Windows XP Home Sp3.
  I continue with installation of all the essential and the add-on
  pilots (essentially all my original version). Then, I
  set up a network connection and firewall. With this configuration,.
  I ran the Pro XP slipstreamed SP3 CD. The upgrade to XP Pro
  success (even if the upgrade not configured my graphics
  card properly). I guess my current problem is either the registry,
  the WINDOWS, some user file or parameter file.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  I made a file and the backup of the folder C:\Windows folder
  on my system that is pre-existing (OEM XP Home Sp3). I also did a
  separate the backup the State of the 'system' on my pre-existing system.
  These are added my full image backup of her pre-existing
  system a month ago.

  I did a backup image of my system (minimum fees OEM XP Home
  SP3 with all the original installed drivers over a network configured
  connection and a firewall configured). This system will upgrade
  XP Pro with XP Pro SP3 slipstreamed CD successfully.

  Experiment 1:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the C:/Windows folder
  and the State of the pre-existing system backup system. A startup
  has managed (with a minor irritant). I had to activate Windows.
  Then, I tried upgrading the slipstreamed XP Pro processor. He stopped
  at the same place during the upgrade and gave the same error as before:

  Setup cannot set the required configuration information Windows XP.
  This indicates an internal Setup error.

  Experiment 2:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the system state only
  the backup of the pre-existing system. After startup I was asked to
  activate Windows, but answer Yes to the question would be to disconnect me
  the system. I couldn't get connected to try the XP Pro upgrade.

  Experience 3:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored only the C:/Windows
  the backup of the pre-existing system folder. Once again, as in experiment 1,
  the upgrade failed at the same place with the same error message.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Before the experiment 3, I hoped that 3 experience would succeed so I
  could conclude that I had a registry problem. I'm not sure now.
  I don't know what to try next. Take the minimum system and reinstalling
  my files of the user is not an option that my hard drive has over 200 GB of
  programs! If I restore all files and folders of my pre-existing
  I would still have backup to restore a system state the reliable (read the registry).
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Sorry for the length! If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your responses.

  Thank you

• I need to upgrade my xp home to xp pro.

  I need to run a file transfer program, but the two computers must be running the same operating system.

  Hi Mikenyc342,

  Thanks for posting. I'm not sure what you're asking to your message. If you are having problems with a file transfer program, then you may want the manufacturer of this program for support. If you try to update from XP Home to XP Pro, you will need to purchase full media or upgrade from a supplier who currently still the sales. If I'm wrong on the understanding of your question please post back with more information so that we can better help you.

  I hope this helps!

  Yes, you can upgrade to Pro. Just buy the Pro version with license key. You can't even run the Windows dvd. Try Windows Anytime Upgrade in your departure, all programs Menu. Select "Enter an upgrade key" and enter your new license key. This should automatically unlock the additional features of the Pro version. In the case where that it fails, you can of course run your dvd.

  You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

• "How do I upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional?

  Dear seniors

  I would like to ask something...

  I have Acer PC which have an OEM Windows 7 Home Premium.
  I want to improve the windows to the Pro Version of Windows 7.

  I have the MAK FULL for Windows 7 Pro key.

  do a job when I am upgrade OEM Win 7 Home to Profesiional using Windows Anytime Upgrade?

  Original title: good day

  You cannot use a Windows 7 Pro [Multiple Activation Key - MAK] with Windows Anytime Upgrade. Distributions of Windows volume license do not support the Express upgrade.

  Please note that the Express upgrade does not support OEM, MSDN-Academic, Volume License (license of the Faculty student). If you are in possession of all these brackets, you will need to save and do a custom clean install. If you want to do it, please backup your Windows 7 Home Premium or according to edition currently installed. Some licenses for Windows distributed to tertiary level students are not perpetual, which means that you cannot continue to use the software after a course or graduating.

  You will need to get an Anytime Upgrade retail or consider making a custom clean install.

  How to make an Express upgrade.

  First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click the option to purchase a key. Wait while loading of the Express Upgrade page, click on the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to buy it.

  Click Next, fill in your details (it is important that you do this because the product key will be sent to you as a backup in case you need to reinstall) enter your credit card information, click next to begin the upgrade, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement , click upgrade, wait while the software updates, (it may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the case, updates are required), your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a windows will pop up by notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, your files, programs and settings stored, proceed to activate Windows 7 Professional.

• 1000 HP Notebook PC: Cannot use mic internal after upgrade to win 10 Home 64-bit

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 10 Home 64 bit on my laptop notebook PC HP 1000, Windows cannot hear the internal mic, I think that the signal of the microphone is too small. I can't use Cortana, Skype chat, or den. Windows says driver registration is still available and connected, but there is no signal recording.

  

  I have already uninstall and reinstall the driver from the site Web of Realtek and HP, but no effect. I also used Windows troubleshooting and HP Support Assistant, but he's still not normal.

  Can someone help me solve this problem. I really want to use all the features of Cortana.

• Yesterday, I downloaded the upgrade to El Capitan in a Mac Pro (early 2008) running Yosemite 10.10.5, and today I can not start the upgrade

  Yesterday, I downloaded the upgrade to El Capitan in a Mac Pro (early 2008) running Yosemite 10.10.5, and today I can not start the upgrade.

  The only option I have found is to click again on the download button, but the circle of download rest bike for a long time and ultimately that nothing happens.

  See if that helps...

  Start with CMD + r or the Option/alt key to boot from the recovery partition & use utility disk from there to repair the disk, and then repair permissions.

• What is the difference between XP Home and XP Pro?

  I am now running XP Home on my PC and a friend gave me a CD of XP Pro Wavec one code, and I was wondering what was the difference? Also I HAV downloaded word, excel, I have also a disk for Office XP Pro is a different thing here?

  Regarding XP Home vs XP Pro, the Pro version is more designed for a corporate network environment.  Most of the differences focus on areas related to the network, while others address control, permissions, and increased security.  A few things that come to mind:

  • XP Pro may be a member of a domain environment.  Homepage can not (only working groups)
  • XP Home requires Simple file sharing where all incoming connections authenticate as user 'Guest' for access to files.  XP Pro can disable Simple file sharing and apply a level of access control to files.
  • XP Pro can accept 10 simultaneous inbound connections.  XP Home only 5
  • XP Pro offers the Encrypting File System (EFS) to a higher level of file protection.  XP Home does not work.  In my humble OPINION, this is a good reason to stick with Home that EFS is known as the 'Recycle Bin delay'
  • XP Pro offers a strategy by which a group admin [remote] can set permissions/policies on machines
  • XP Pro offers a 64-bit version, not House.
  • XP Pro offers remote desktop connection.  Home does not work.

  For differences, see:
