i think so you can, you need an older version to start the upgrade process to Windows 8
you cannot upgrade from win95 directly to xp without a fresh install, if you have purchased an upgrade disc, you need windows 98 or newer. If you have purchased a regular install disc, back up your important files, and boot from the install disc, you do this by setting the BIOS (in "setup", before the O.S. starts to load)
Perform a clean install of Windows XP.
They are different things, if you have not yet purchased an upgrade disk you should invest in an install disk. Otherwise you will have to upgrade from Vista to windows 7 every time you want to reinstall.
If you have windows 7 you can upgrade to it. If you have windows XP you will need to do a complete install.
Yes, the installer will allow you to both upgrade and format with a clean install in all cases.
No, Windows Server 2003 must be a fresh install.
anybody who purchased windows 7 license is qualified for that..
There is no upgrade path from Windows ME to Windows 2000. You would have to reformat the hard drive to remove ME before you install Windows 2000 from scratch.
No. First of all, not everyone would consider Windows an "upgrade." Secondly, Windows does not support migrating a Windows system, so you have to erase the hard drive and do a clean install.
Key is unique for each computer and has to be purchased.
This will not perform a direct upgrade. It will remove everything from the hard drive and install Windows 7. You must re-install all of your programs.
Not directly. You can format the hard drive and install Windows XP cleanly. You can upgrade directly to Windows XP Professional (which is more expensive).
