Peter Goggin <petergoggin@bigpond.com> Subject: [GN] Upgrades from XP to windows 8 Peter, My old computer was an XP Home ED and I bought a new computer with Win 8 pre-installed. I wanted to have dual boot with XP, but they are NOT COMPATIBLE unless you have XP Pro or Win 8 Pro if I recall correctly. Win 7 is compatible with Win 8 and can be upgraded or dual-installed.
