Computer Question

Postby Bobgorilla » Fri Mar 16, 2007 6:20 pm

I bought a computer off of ebay without an operating system, then went to the auction for os's. I saw an auction ending in 2 minutes for xp home with sp2 and jumped on it (probably too quick) without reading the description carefully. Turns out I "won" an xp home upgrade with sp2
Now the question, can this serve as stand alone os :worship: or does it upgrade an older windows program and reqiures an underlying os to function? :frustrated:
if you're not bleeding you're not really working

The upgrade version is designed to upgrade a previous edition. With that said, if you have a valid install CD of Windows 98, ME, or 2000, then PM me I will tell you how to get around this.
