| | Home Premium OEM to Ultimate upgrade? Hello, I am purchasing a Dell computer with Vista Home Premium on it. I have my own boxed retail version of Ultimate that I want to put on my new machine. My Ultimate version is the upgrade version though. Can this be done and if so, how? |

| | Re: Home Premium OEM to Ultimate upgrade? Hi, Yes, it certainly can be done. Simply boot into the preinstalled OS, then insert your upgrade disk and follow the prompts to upgrade. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "paula" <nospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uDF00yKUIHA.748@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > I am purchasing a Dell computer with Vista Home Premium on it.

| | Re: Home Premium OEM to Ultimate upgrade? You sure can upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate using the Ultimate Full Retail versiom. Just make sure you choose the upgrade option during setup, the upgrade process will preserve your personal files, settings and applications. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "paula" <nospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uDF00yKUIHA.748@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > I am purchasing a Dell computer with Vista Home Premium on it.

| | Re: Home Premium OEM to Ultimate upgrade? Thank you for the quick response Rick. I forgot to also ask since the boxed Ultimate upgrade version I have is on my old PC that I plan to format and give away, is it going to be a problem in that that product key has already been registered with Microsoft from my old PC? paula "Rick Rogers" <rick@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:u%23WIE2KUIHA.5404@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > Yes, it certainly can be done.
