HOWTO Change Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro | |

We can’t vouch for this hack, because we are too lazy to try it (and we never, ever violate copyrights or EULAs), but kind reader Martin explains the process for turning an Windows XP Home install disc to a Windows XP Pro disc after the jump. It sounds pretty simple to do (just some registry changes), but you can’t install Service Pack 2, so you might try to slipstream in the changes to your modified install disc (if that’s even possible). Alternately, buy XP Pro, or get a Mac. 1. Copy the root directory and the i386 directory of the WindowsXP CD
to your harddisk | ||

Holy crap, we've been really bad about that lately (for the record, this is the first time I've done it :-D).
P.S. - Fixed now. Sorry for the wait. This post was edited by ToddAW on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 at 13:09. |

| Sounds like a bunch of bull to me. :) There are software differences that can't be adressed with just a simple registry hack. |

| #6, actually Microsoft usually just disables and enables stuff in the registry and ships the software that is disabled with the product. |
