    Dear friends, i'm trying to buy a Satellite M65-S9091 (Windows XP Pro), the market place of Toshiba refer me to Retail store or Online Partners but no body have it. They have a M65-S909 (Windows Home Edition). It's possible to upgrade the Windows XP home edition of the M65-S909 to Windows XP Pro.?

    Best Regard's.

    P.D: If you have some comment about this product please let me know, it's important. Thank's in advance.

    Well, unless you configure it on Toshiba's website, you may out of luck. You could always after-market it if you really need XP Pro. However, there may be other notebooks that fill your needs as well, I reccommend filling out the Notebook FAQ in the "Hardware" fourms.

    hi xpol00,
    You may have alreay purchased a machine by now, but I wanted to let you know about the M65-S9092. This machine comes standard with Windows XP Media Center, which is Windows XP Pro plus more. Best Buy has been selling it for $1600 after rebates. I have one and it works fantastic.
    The video card on this model is an ATI X600 with 128MB direct ram (and an extra 128 available as HyperMemory) which is a lot better then the Intel Graphics on the S9091.
    Hope this helps.
    BR,
    Luc

    Windows XP Pro is not the same as Media Center Edition. XP Pro is more for business oriented needs with it having remote desktop, which is very nice and I use it for work. Media Center Edition is made for more for watching tv on your computer and unless you are going to being doing that it is pretty pointless to get it. MCE is just the Home version with the accessories for the TV tuner.
