I would like to upgrade to Windows XP from Windows ME.
Will I lose information stored in Microsoft Works and
Photo Studio? I have already upgraded my RAM to 256 and
am in the process of upgrading my video card. Should I
burn to CD all of "My Documents"? Will I lose everything
that I have installed? Thank you for any help that you
can give me.

You will not lose anything.

Is your system compatible with XP? Download the Upgrade Advisor from the
Mircosoft web site.

Most of the time... Read your Murphy's Laws. I wouldn't do this kind of
thing without a full backup. Unless I didn't give a hoot about losing
anything.
