Seems like it is hard to find, I would try these as a starting point. I would assume it is that same as Windows XP, I have included a few articles about these requirements.

That will run XP easily enough although it won't be very punchy.\n\nAn extra 256Mb of RAM (cheap as chips from Crucial / Kingston) will help no end.\n\nAs long as you are paying no more than 150 GBP for it then it is a good buy.

Your system requirements are probably too low to install XP

windows 95-98 can get away with  32-64mb of ram windows 2000 can do it with 64-128mb  and windows xp needs a minimum 256mb you would need more ram for all operating systems the more you put on the computer and try to run these are not the minimum system req  but a beefed up version

Your hard drive has little to do with it as long as your hard drive is larger than a few gig.\n\nWhat you need to worry about are the other computer specs. Unless it has 256mb of ram i wouldn't really try using XP on it. I would highly recommend atleast 512mb. The processor speed shouldn't be too much of a factor because i'm assuming (if it came with ME) that the processor is atleast 800mhz.

It really depends on your laptops specs. It has to have a good enough graphics card, enough memory, and a fast enough processor. \n\nHere are the Minimum Requirements:\n    * Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2 / Vista\n    * PC with 1 GHz equivalent or higher processor\n    * 256 MB of system RAM for Windows XP SP2 / 512 MB Vista\n    * 14 GB available hard disk space\n    * DVD-ROM drive\n    * 32 MB DirectX 9 compatible video card required\n    * Sound card, speakers or headphones required for audio\n    * Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n    * 56.6 Kbps or better modem for online play

Be careful with EMachines, Gateway, Dell and the likes.\nTry ordering from a local computer manufacturer if possible. \n\nAs for specifications...\n\nProcessor: at least a pentium 4 at least 1.5 to 2 ghz\nMemory: Windows XP needs 256 mb. 512 to be safe.\nNO INTEGRATED SOUND OR VIDEO. These two things use the computer's memory. Disable it if its available.\nGraphics card with a chip by either nVidia or ATI with at least 32 meg of memory (if you want to be really cheap)\nSoundblaster sound card (even a "value" model will do better than internal sound.)\n\nDon't spend too much. An okay deskop computer should cost you under $1000 these days, but don't try to get the cheapest thing or you'll be in trouble.

There should really only be XP Home Full or XP Home Upgrade.  I'm not aware of any variations on the home edition in terms of versions.  And there's no volume licensing for it, so any version of home should work unless you try to install the full version and only have an upgrade key - then you'll need a key from a previous version of Windows.

It's not hard to upgrade your PC; I'll try to type you through this here.\n\n1) Minimum Requirements for Windows XP:\n\n233MHz Processor\n\n64MB Memory\n\n650MB HDD space\n\nI'd recommend at least 128MB of memory or it will be very slow.\n\nIf you meet these requirements, go to the next step.\n\n2) Find an OEM disc of Windows XP Home (you don't need professional if your not a client of a server).\n\nBuy the OEM (not retail) disc at any online computer store.  Do a Google search for it.  It will be half the cost of a retail version (XP Home is usually $90).\n\n3) Most computers are set to boot from CD first.  You stick in the XP CD and when it says "Press a key to boot from CD" do so.\n\nIt will load some necessary files with a blue-screen background.  Then you will come to a part to setup the installation.\n\nPress enter to install Windows.\n\nPress F8 to accept license agreement.\n\nFind the partition that has your old OS.\n\nPress D to delete it.\n\nThen press enter to confirm.\n\nThen press L to confirm.\n\nYou'll be back at the partition screen.\n\nNow press enter to format that partition you just erased.\n\nPick "format as NTFS" and don't choose quick.\n\nSetup will format this.  This may take an hour.\n\nThen it'll automatically start installing Windows.\n\nAfter another half-an-hour it'll restart your computer.\n\nDon't press a key to boot from CD like before; let it load from the HDD.\n\nThen Windows will give you the graphical install screen.\n\nIt'll do everything itself besides a few questions it'll ask.\n\nAfter about 39 minutes, it'll be done and you'll be ready to use Windows XP.\n\nMake sure you have the drivers for any necessary hardware on CD or disc before you do this.  Otherwise you might be stuck with a modem or NIC (network card) that won't work and you won't be able to connect to the Internet to get the driver.\n\nAfter writing this, I realize it may be a little difficult for someone who has never done it.  I say give it a go yourself.  If it doesn't work, you can always have someone else do it for you.\n\nRemember to back up your data files too (like My Documents) on CD as these will be erased with the install.  Also note that all programs will be erased but these cannot be backed up.  Also, if Microsoft Office came with your computer but you don't have the CD for it, you won't be able to reinstall it as Office does not come with Windows XP.
