He was removing the top-floor cupboard to sort through old stuff. Among the junk was a 15-year-old Sound Blaster Live, now in my nVidia Riva setup, plus an XP Service Pack 2 disc. Should I do a clean install or just upgrade? Since I have a spare hard drive and a system that really needs a new OS. The outside case has a serial number on the CD sleeve—pics or it didn’t happen.

It seems like you're referring to a service update. Is there anything specific you'd like to know about it?

does it mention an upgrade? if it does, it’s an upgrade copy; otherwise, it’s about a fresh install. you can still perform a clean installation from the upgrade media—just insert a disk from an earlier Windows version at the prompt to verify eligibility, and then proceed normally. please send a photo of the disk so i can assist further.
