    Different OS in laptop

     
    Just wondering if I can install a different OS (XP Pro) in a laptop that came with XP home.

    I`m searching for a Cetrino laptop around 1300$, but 80$ more for XP Pro when i have it right here at home, I can`t justify it.

    So when I`ll buy the laptop can I load a different OS? Would everything be recognized?

    Its just like a Desktop. It should work just fine. I dont know much about Cetrino notebooks but should work just fine.

    in most cases, yes. i have a dell lattitude C600 that loads whatever be it linux, windows, etc. just need to get drivers for your hardware if needed.
