Migrating to Windows XP Professional x64 edition

Customers migrating to Windows XP Professional x64 edition should be aware that this is not as simple as a Service Pak upgrade, as it requires 64-bit drivers for your Workstation hardware as well as external hardware such as printers. It also requires applications that are compatible with Windows XP Professional x64 edition.

We recommend testing out your OS, drivers and applications prior to committing to usage. Get more information on transition planning, or to get your questions answered.
