Nice handle, anyway, if you have a blank HD and your system is setup so that you can boot off your CD-Rom/DVD-Rom/CDRW drive, yes, you can install XP upgrade version. During setup, you will be asked to prove that you have a qualifying previous version of Windows. Since you mention WinME, you should not have any problems whatsoever. The only difference between the full and upgrade version of XP Home edition, is that the upgrade version asks for proof of previous ownership while the full version does not. If you're starting from a blank HD, stability w/ be the same no matter which route you take. Hope this helps.
