I am currently running WinXP SP3 and want to install Wndows Server 2008. Can
I do an upgrade or do I need to do a fresh install? It would be really nice
if I didn't have to re-install all my programs again. Thank you.
 
Re: Upgrading to Server 2008

Hello Billy,

XP is a desktop and not a server OS, if you like to keep your installation
install the equivalent VISTA version and check before in the vendor website
of you software if it is compatible or run the upgradeadvisor:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=42b5ac83-c24f-4863-a389-3ffc194924f8

If you still will install 2008, then you have to start from scratch.

Best regards
