Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get Microsoft Windows XP Professional relatively cheaply. I've just started my self study and was shocked to see that my computer (Which is extremely modern) will require quite a bit of additional software.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Alex

 

Sparky,

Thanks that's a great help. I was quoted for more than twice that amount earlier today much to my amazement. I'll keep fishing around to see if I can get it cheaper still though!!

Sparky, you have always been able to do a clean install with an OS upgrade CD, well since Win95 that is.

The only difference apart from the fact that it may be cheaper, is that you need the media (CD) from a previous version of windows. You will get prompted during the clean install to insert the old media and then the install will progress as usual.
