Question

Title says it all really.......I have a PC on our network which is XP Home, need to add it to our Domain, so it needs to go to XP Pro....do I just slam in a Pro CD and it will upgrade or is there another way of 'Unlocking' Home edition? And more importantly will it f!@k anything up doing it. - I really dont want/need a full reload right now!!!

TIA:P
