Earlier I purchased the Recovery Discs ( 2+1 ) for XP Home, will they
work thro' XP Pro & the Evaluation Vista ?
Cost wise ( UK ) the clean XP Home, with an Upgrade to Vista Premium
is the best financially - however, when making the transition from XP
Home to Pro had many problems recovering drivers etc.
Thank you, Rick, for your quick reply
