Question : upgrade XP to Windows Server 2008?
I have a box running XP SP3 that has been acting as a default file and print server. I'd like to install Server 2008 on the box instead because I need additional capabilities that XP doesn't offer.
Can I install Server 2008 on top of XP, i.e., can I "upgrade" from XP? Or am I better off formatting the hard drive and doing a clean install of Server 2008?
Thanks...
