My new acer notebook has xp home. &nbsp;My PC has w2k pro. &nbsp;I have a win 2k pro &quot;upgrade&quot; disk, which will not install over xp. &nbsp;What do I need to do to replace xp with 2kpro? &nbsp;Buy a full version of 2kpro? &nbsp;Is there another way?<br />
<br />
One reason I want to do this is that I cannot get the two to see each other on my wireless network. &nbsp;Would xp pro work better for me in this respect? &nbsp;I understand it is really 2kpro with bells and whistles.<br />
<br />
Thanks

My new acer notebook has xp home.  My PC has w2k pro.  I have a win 2k pro "upgrade" disk, which will not install over xp.  What do I need to do to replace xp with 2kpro?  Buy a full version of 2kpro?  Is there another way?

&quot;down-grading&quot; to 2kpro

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
