Upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro?

Flashfox · 2009-05-31

I have an Aspire ONE w/120GB HDD, Windows XP Home SP3 (AOA 150-1570) and Ubuntu 9.x. I would like to switch from XP Home to XP Professional so that I can use it over several domains (office use). I have a valid Microsoft XP Professional CD & license from one of my previous installations (I bought the CD and that system no longer exists, so the license is available). I believe that there is no "upgrade path" between XP Home and XP Pro. However, is there an "unofficial" migration path which would not require me to have to re-install everything? Alternatively, is there an application which would permit XP Home to be usable in an office environment (domains, etc.)?
