Win XP HOME to Win XP PRO

[dye]

Hi. I have Z60m installed with Windows XP home.

The thing is I already bought Win XP PRO, and I would like to install them on my new laptop.
I would use this guide.

Obviously I don't have to make a bootable windows CD, only backup of the system(xp home, drivers). Then I would erase the hidden partition, format the disk, made a clean win xp pro installation, update the drivers.

Will this work?

Yes, I have done this quite a few times. I use partition commander to do the formatting of the drive, but you can use any number of softwares for this. I'd also make a set of recovery cd's if you can from your machine in case you ever want to go back to factory install if you sell it or whatever.

Thank you so much!

I will report how it goes.
