now i d like to go legit and have discovered i have a genuine win 95 oem small buissness edition cd and a xp home genuine upgrade disk lurking in my box of old comp stuff.
i have been told u cant install xp home onto xp pro so
my question is :

can i remove xp pro off my sytem, install win 95 and then upgrade to xp home using xp home upgrade disk and how to i do it ?

basically im a complete ****wit and have never really installed, formatted etc.

any help would be appreciated
