Hi Guys,
I'm running Win Me (which I hate because of the instability) and would upgrade to the XP but I read from page 308 of "Computer Shopper" (issue 166, Dec 2001)

QUOTE
The upgrade prices require you to have a retail version of Win 98, SE, Me, NT, 2000.
A 'Restore CD' supplied with a PC do NOT qualify.

Reading some of the posts, it appears nobody has had a problem going from a pre-installed (Restore CD only) machine to XP - is that the experience ?

£180 is a bit of a sod, seeing as I bought in good faith Win Me pre-installed with only the 'Restore CD' available should it go tits-up (which it has more than once!).

Any advice more than welcome.

Cheers
