Upgrade from XP Home Edition to XP Media Center Edition

I have XP Home Edition in my system but eventually, I will purchase TV Tuner
to install in tower. How can I get XP Media Center Edition?

Cheers,
FG

 

You can't upgrade from XP Home to MCE.

MCE is available :-
1]You can get it installed on a new OEM PC.

2]If you are an MSDN subscriber it is also available as
part of several different MSDN subscriptions.

or you can just buy from newegg.com (among others) for around $120.

But it is still a new install...no upgrade option.

I think S.Sengupta made that clear in the original reply.

Actually, he didn't. MCE 2005 was shipped as an OEM product, and as such,
will only do a clean installation. That's not necessarily obvious to the
general masses.

Given all the answers you've already heard, consider Vista Home Premium.
You can upgrade to it.

 

Hi Tom,

Instead of purchase XP Media Center Edition and buy Vista Home Premium that
it has included Media Center Edition. Can you suggest full operating system
or upgrade operating system?

I don't remember the details, so check out MS' site, but I think Home can be
upgraded.
