| | Windows vista Business I have Vist Home Premium on my new computer. I needed to upgrade for my job. I was told to buy the Business Upgrade. I did and it turned out to be the wrong product. You CANNOT upgrade from home premium to business. I am now stuck with this software. Any suggestions? |

| | Re: Windows vista Business You cannot upgrade the software because Vista Home Premium has features that are not in Business. Windows never allows an upgrade in place when it will result in the loss of a functionality. That is by design and nothing to be concerned about. You can still use the upgrade edition of Business to install Business but it requires a custom install. Custom is one of the two options (the other is Upgrade) on the Setup screen after all the preliminaries and just before you confirm the installation. It means you will have to reinstall your apps, files, and settings. You can backup your files and settings to intermediate storage with Windows Easy Transfer and restore with WET after the installation of Business. You will still have to reinstall your programs.
