- 9One thing: are you SURE you want to go with XP for the new system? Current claims from MS are that extended support will be until 2014, but it might be wise to consider upgrading before the last moment.Michael Kohne– Michael Kohne2011-01-28 14:47:27 +00:00Commented Jan 28, 2011 at 14:47

- 1Did you install the current software manually? If yes, then just bite the bullet and do it again.user1249– user12492011-01-28 15:32:25 +00:00Commented Jan 28, 2011 at 15:32

- If you are bothering to upgrade the hardware you need to update the OS at this point. How far out is your system? Not like you could meet common RAM standards on XP not to mention XP is out of support soon...rlperez– rlperez2012-04-01 05:25:07 +00:00Commented Apr 1, 2012 at 5:25

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
