    Hey, I ordered a Vostro 1500 the other day with XP home. My college requires Pro and they offer it for free (code and everything) so I figured that I might as well save the $99 from dell and upgrade it myself. Since I never upgraded an OP before I'm just wondering if this will be complicated or just a simple install? Thx for any help!

    Should be no problem. Just follow the install process for the upgrade.
