Ok here goes Chaps.

This is about an Upgrade from Win98 to Xp Home.

My mother has a Pc running Windows 98 but obviously she wants to Upgrade to Xp Home. In your opinions should this go without too much of a hitch? We have Downloaded a Prog called (UpgAdv.EXE) from the Microsoft.com website which has been run. It only came up with a couple of Minor items that needed looking into such as Drivers for a Scanner which has been sorted.(Q1) Will I need just an Upgrade Version or can I also Upgrade with a Full Version? (Q2) Will I need the Drivers for the Motherboard etc after Installing WinXP (Do not have) (Q3) Is there anything else I should know before Buying and Installing?
 
yes you can an upgrade verson litterally is upgrade only

You will but windows might install them automatically, if not download them from the website

theres nothing else that i know bout

any questions, just ask,
 
Ya Just do the upgrade it will carry over the needed drivers and all her documents and what now

Make shure she has the memory to run xp, Id say a minimum of 256mb but suggest 512
 
512mb is recommened for xp, imo.

to be honest you have to have a full copy of xp because if you want to install xp on a new computer. just put 98 on first then upgrade to xp. its alot cheaper
