if you purchase the retail box version, yes, but its silly expensive.

best to use the documents and settings transfer wizard and clean install.

Im pretty sure XP allows you to do a kind of patchy thing when installing pro over home, i installed the pro corp edition over my home version and kept original files and all.

I know this is closed but one thing I have to say is make sure you have alcohol 120% uninstalled before you upgrade! it ...breaks things.
