re: converting to XP Friday, August 1, 2008 at 9:52 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JimmyK (163 messages posted) What brand of computer are you using? Check with the computer manufacturer for an upgrade advisory. There they can tell you what hardware and software if any will and will not nwork and what you will need to replace them. Some times a bios update is needed also. Or if you don't want to mess with it yourself have a professional do it. Bestbuy is generally a good place to start, they can sell you what you need and install it, update everything including bios if needed and have you on your way. Now depending on age of computer it might be cheaper to buy a new system than to update and upgrade old system. You may end up having to buy a new ps (power supply), graphics card for the newer apps and games, DVD burner if you don't have one, a bigger hard drive, and so on. The bottom line is money, how much are you willing to spend to update and upgrade. For me I had an old hp pavilion w/me and upgraded it to xp just to see if I could do it. It has a 20 gig hard drive, cd burner, floppy drive and some software. Half of my software was incompatible. So I decided to buy a new system and passed the old one on to the kids. Good luck.
