So, my laptop died and I broke out an old computer that I bought around 2000ish. At the time it had Windows ME and I got a buddy to install what I thought was Windows XP. It turns out it was a version of ME skinned to look like XP.

My question is: I just bought a version of XP through Ebay thinking it was the full retail version of XP but it turned out it was just an upgrade. Not sure if the seller sent me the wrong one or I got duped. Trying to get back in touch with the person to see what's going on.

When I try and install it I get an error saying the OS I currently have doesn't support an upgrade. Is there anything I can do to fix this or am I going to need to start looking for another copy of XP?

Thanks for the help guys!
