And finally, how to upgrade: Well, all you have to do is buy a copy of Windows XP. If you already own Windows 98 or Windows ME, you can buy the Windows XP Upgrade CD, which is cheaper than the full version. It will check that you already have Windows 98 or ME, and will then install itself on top of the system without harming your personal data. If you own Windows 95, though, you'll have to bite the bullet (or your wallet!) and buy the full version - you are not eligible to use the Upgrade version. That's Microsoft's rule. I think it sucks, but not much we can do about it. (Windows XP Home Edition System Requirements.)

If you're looking for a place to order Windows XP, here are a few suggestions. Good luck with it!

Windows XP Home Upgrade CD (for Windows 98, Windows ME owners)
Windows XP Home Full version CD (for Windows 3.1, Windows 95 owners)
Windows XP Pro Upgrade CD (for Windows NT, Windows 2000 & XP Home owners)
Windows XP Pro Full version CD (for everyone else)
