I am hardly any help with Windows baseballfan, but I'll try. I think the only issue is going to be the license, and not running XP anymore for a while, I seem to remember you can do it over the phone. Also when you boot up there might be a lot of Windows detects new hardware screens where you will have to install drivers for whatever is different. I know XP imprints itself on the mobo for microsoft, and I don't know for sure how the heck it may react.
