    Right now, I want to purchase a Win XP Pro Full Retail to change my current Win XP Pro OEM so I can prepare my entire computer to be upgraded.

    I just want to be sure that changing a Win XP Pro OEM to product key to a Win XP Pro Full Retail key is possible via http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/PKUInstructions.aspx without the need to re-install Windows XP Pro.

    Thank you again.

    Yes as long as your not going from XP Home to Pro or reverse.
