Upgrade to Ultimate different language

Hi, my laptop came with Vista Home Premium ITA preinstalled.

I have also the Anytime Upgrade DVD so I decided to fresh install Vista from
it: I had a problem with activation (I've used the key on the bottom of the
laptop but I needed to activate via telephone with a Microsoft employe, the
online activation didn't work).

Now I would like the Ultimate Edition in english, is there a way to get the
upgrade from ITA home premium to ENG ultimate?

Most important: once I buy the upgrade, I receive a key that I can use for
future FRESH install of Ultimate directly from the Anytime Upgrade DVD I own?

Thank you very much for the help, regards,
Tiziano.

Vista Ultimate comes with language packs as part of the Ultimate
Extra's. You can choose to install the english language pack. You can
even set up two user accounts, one in english and one in italian.

Your Vista Ultimate [Eng] copy will automatically be installed as English
when you are given the option to select your language during the Out Of Box
Experience portion of installation.

Re: Upgrade to Ultimate different language

You cannot upgrade and change languages at the same time. You need to
upgrade in the existing language, then change languages afterwards.
