I currently have XP Home, and I got a XP Pro disc from HP.

If I want to upgrade it to Pro, would I have to reinstall the OS and lose all my files or will it just update the OS while keeping all my files?
 
Yes, this what I've heard... your service packs need to match up, and you need to get a retail copy of the upgrade CD fo XP Pro with the correct service pack on it.
 
my parents bought professional service pack 1 when xp first came out, and then they found out that it wouldnt work with our old 500 Mhz emachines...and its not compatible with my machine :(
