Update from Office XP Home Edition to Office XP Professional Edition

[koromac]

I bought my computer with XP Home Edition and just found
out that it did not come with Powerpoint and Access. How
can I update from XP Home to XP Professional without
buying the entire Professional Edition?

Hi Koromac,

I'm assuming you're referring to the
Office XP Small Business Edition (XP Home is
the Windows version). Contact the PC supplier
and ask about their policy on upgrading to the
Office XP Professional + Publisher OEM edition.

MS has no provision in the retail packages for
upgrading other than the boxed retail 30 day money
back guarantee one.

Bob,

Thanks for your advise. I've contacted my PC Supplier
(Dell) and it will cost me about $200 instead of the $400+
it would have cost me to buy the entire XP Professional.

Again, thanks!
