Re: Downgrade Vista Home Premium to XP Home

I currently have Vista Home Basic, and I know that I (CAN) downgrade to XP
Home using my computer's backup cds, but my question is: if at a later date I
upgrade my computer a little more (enough so to run Vista better than it
currently does) will the license activation accept me upgrading if I've
upgraded once before?
