Help! I am buying XP Home suite and intend to install it on my PC over ME, which has become very unstable and a real pain, constantly crashing and proving difficult to start up, in spite of running de-frag frequently.
However although I feel confident about doing this, I am alarmed at some of the comments on some threads saying it is 'not possible to load XP over ME' because the PC may not be able to handle it.
My PC is about 4 - 5 years old, surely not too old to handle XP? I have had a second hard disk fitted and the memory increased.
Any serious advice would be most welcome.
Thanks, Tez

Jump to PostIf possible, ALWAYS do a clean install instead of upgrading. It seems it creates fewer problems for you in the long run.
Jump to PostYour system is quite capable of running Windows XP. In your situation it would definitely be worthwhile to download all the necessary Windows XP device drivers, back up your data files, wipe your system clean and do a fresh clean install of Windows XP.
