U3Hacker Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hello, Can I Install XP Home and XP Pro on the same computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Yes each would need a different Partition but you can (I would think Home should be installed first (even if you make it at the end of the drive) in case The Pro version has a better boot loader) can I ask why you would need to?

thisiam Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 why would you want to install both Home and Pro? Pro can do everything that home can if you are going to dual boot, should it not be different OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Is there any thing that makes you think it won't work? Also: use a virtual macheince rather then partitioning the hard drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 MS Virtual PC 2004 is the shit. What free(as in speech or beer) do you use on Windows VaKo Don't quite follow you. If your talking about VM software, I use Virtual PC 2004, at the moment its running FreeBSD. Compared to VM ware (which i grant is way more powerful), its just so easy to setup and run. VMware always seemed like overkill and the performance was always a bit crappy. And lastly, VMware needs to play around with your OS way more than virtual PC.
