I have an upgrade version of Windows XP Pro, and, I was wondering if I bought an OEM version of xp home could I upgrade to pro once xp home is installed using the pro upgrade cd? Thanks!

You can boot off the upgrade cd just fine, it'll ask you to insert a cd from a previous version of windows though. Beg or borrow a windows cd, anything from 95 up will do.
