- using the File and Settings Transfer Wizard to move to XP MCE from XP Pro?
- Posted by ms_dude on April 1st, 2006
i have a PC with XP Pro ...
i wanna install XP Media Center Edition (MCE), which requires a clean
install ...
my plan is to install XP MCE into the existing C:\Windows dir and therefore
overwrite the current XP Pro install ... i plan to leave the C:\Program
Files dir untouched ...
if i use the to save my current XP Pro
settings will this same me the trouble of reinstalling all the applications
currently installed into the C:\Program Files dir?
thank you!

No, a clean install will require programs to be reinstalled.
