    Hi All,

    Firstly, apologies if I'm in the wrong forum. I have Windows XP (Service Pack 3) on my computer and seem to meet the minimum hardware requirements that are required to upgrade to Windows 8 but just wanted to double check that you can upgrade from one to the other?

    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    AFAIK you can only upgrade from Vista or Windows 7. I think you'd have to buy the full version to install over XP (I'm open to correction on this)

    Just answered my own question, oops! Microsoft say that XP with service pack 3 is covered. Thanks :)
