If you install Professional and want to go back to XP Home - you will have
to format and start fresh unless you make an image of your system before
upgrading and keep that in a safe place and use it to go back to Windows XP
Home.

Do you need some feature of XP Pro (Encrypted File System, Ability to join a
domain, etc)?
