21-32 Chapter 21 <strong>Installing</strong> Windows XP Professional (1.0)<br />

Objective 1.3 Answers<br />

1. Correct Answers: D and E<br />

A. Incorrect: Windows for Workgroups 3.11 cannot be upgraded directly to Windows<br />

XP Professional. After determining that the hardware and software are compatible<br />

with Windows XP, you must perform a full system backup and define a list<br />

of installed applications and document personalization settings such as wallpaper<br />

and color scheme. Then, perform a fresh install of Windows XP, reinstall all applications,<br />

and restore the user’s data and settings. Alternatively, the system can be<br />

upgraded to Windows 95, and then Windows 98, and then Windows XP Professional.<br />

In practice, few people will choose to upgrade computers running this<br />

operating system because the hardware is not likely to meet the minimum requirements<br />

for Windows XP.<br />

B. Incorrect: You cannot upgrade directly from Windows 95 directly to Windows<br />

XP Professional. The suggested upgrade path is from Windows 95, to Windows 98,<br />

and then to Windows XP.<br />

C. Incorrect: You cannot upgrade Windows NT Workstation 4.0 to Windows XP<br />

Professional unless Service Pack 6 or later is installed.<br />

D. Correct: You can upgrade Windows NT Workstation 4.0 directly to Windows XP<br />

Professional, as long as Service Pack 6 is installed.<br />

E. Correct: You can upgrade Windows 2000 Professional directly to Windows XP<br />

Professional.<br />

2. Correct Answers: C<br />

A. Incorrect: Restoring Windows 98 system files over a Windows XP installation<br />

might return the system to its original state, or it might leave the system completely<br />

nonfunctional. Although it sometimes might be necessary to restore user<br />

data to a freshly upgraded system, applications and system settings cannot be<br />

transferred this way.<br />

B. Incorrect: This is a commonly used method that will work on many systems.<br />

However, it is very risky to not generate a compatibility report because there is a<br />

distinct possibility that the system will not function at all after the upgrade. Additionally,<br />

if you discover after the upgrade that a critical application cannot be<br />

patched to work properly with Windows XP, your only method of recovery is to<br />

perform a full system restore. It is more time-efficient to perform a Winnt32.exe /<br />

checkupgradeonly procedure and resolve any issues before running the full setup<br />

procedure.
