If you have a valid Win95/98/98SE/ME/2000 OS CD, you shouldn't have a problem. Durring the install, it will ask for you to insert the CD of valid M$ OS CD to upgrade from. It wants to make sure you have an older M$ OS to upgrade from.

Some OEM's (HP, Gateway, etc.) don't give you a real M$ OS CD.

You cannot install full ver with an upgrade cd. But you can certainly upgrade 98, 2000, ME very very easily.

Good luck

What I want to do is use the product key from the upgrade disk on a full version disk.

Sorry, you're going to have to find an upgrade cd.

no you cant use an upgrade key on your full version of winxp home. what you want to do is use a full version of any windows OS (95,98,ect), insert your winxp home upgrade and your done. you can get a full version of windows cheap. if you dont have your upgrade CD borrow one but use your key.

I have all the disks. I want to bypass inserting any other disk except the win xp full. What if I auto insert the upgrade serial # into the full version.
