Description

Keep a compatible PC productive with Windows XP Professional and continue using the programs, devices or work setups built around this generation.

Compared with Home Edition, Professional adds useful tools for remote access, managed networks and file protection, making it the better choice when the PC is used for work or you need more control.

Why choose Professional

Choose Professional when your PC is used for more than basic home tasks. It keeps the familiar XP experience and adds useful work-focused tools for remote access, managed networks and file protection. Features such as domain support, EFS and Remote Desktop are there when your setup needs them, without making them the reason you have to understand the product.

Ideal for

Keeping a work PC or dedicated machine on the familiar Windows XP Professional environment.

Continuing to use compatible office, technical or older business applications.
