Hi,
A friend wishes to upgrade his sony laptop (currently running windows 2000 professional) to windows xp professional. He was supplied by sony with a recovery disc to use in the case of a windows install. My question is - is it possible and legal for him to purchase the upgrade version of windows xp instead of the full copy? If so (as I would hope) has anyone done this, and if so, were there any problems with the upgrade cd recognising the recovery cd as being a full/oem version of windows?
Thanks for your time,
Andrew
