Upgrading x64 XP from trial to full

[McGraw]

Do I have to buy a retail CD or is there a way to pay online and have it turned into the full version?

Also, how do I find out how long I've got left of the evaluation?

Cheers.

if you have XP Pro on your computer legit then you can upgrade via the microsoft website...you might just have to pay some quids for P&P thought it was something like £12

I *think* there was something in the agreement about you having to wipe the existing installation and perform a clean install. They were doing an exchange program of existing XP Pro licenses but I think is finished now.

I don't think you can upgrade the trial to a full version.

Slightly OT but I think I'll go back to the 32-bit version soon. Having to hunt around for drivers and the like is a bit of a pain in the cheeks.

I think if you try to activate the software options would be available where a licence can be purchased.Prob activate by telephone

I dual boot and use xp64 for 99% of what my pc is for.IMO its a much better OS than 32 bit

Will investigate.

Thanks.

I missed the swap boat and will just hang onto my XP just in case.
