Re: Upgrading - what disc qualifies for upgrade version?
Neither can be used.
You must have a legal and validated Windows XP operating system installed on
your computer. You then start the Vista upgrade install from within Windows
XP.
The install checks to make certain that your Windows XP O/S has been
validated (legal). If it isn't, the upgrade install will likely not
continue.
