| | Vista upgrade I purchased an "express upgrade" from Microsoft and installed on my Sony Vaio. I am not satisfied with this running over XP. I want to but a full OEM version and install it on this machine. When I complete my clean install of the new Vista software, can I install the Vista upgrade on one of my other machines running XP Home? Thanks... |
