Windows ME to Windows XP

[Sumo_Buddha]

Ok this may seem like a really dumb question. Im really considering switching my OS (Win ME). My sister bought a Dell and it came with a "Windows XP reinstallation" CD. I was wondering if it would work if I just popped it in and installed it?

I tried that with an old HP WindowsME recovery CD. Didn't work.

Just try installing windows xp from those CDS. I do think that the OEM version would not work though. It might give u a "no emulation" message

If you are trying to install win xp OEM from DELL cds - its not actually possible to do that!

It's probably a "Restore" Disc & will only Re-Load her PC.

Thanks...

I was guessing it was a restore disc. Thanks for answering my question all!

yea those cds that come with pre built machines dont work on any other comps. I dont know why exactly i just know that i have tried it 2ice now and it doesnt work on any machine. But if i were you i would pick up xp. ME is a running virus. Horrible OS that should of never been released.
