I am afraid that the upgrade disk you obtained can be used to upgrade the system from Windows XP to Windows Vista. However, it cannot be used to upgrade from a lower version of Windows Vista to a higher one. To upgrade from Windows Vista Home premium to Windows Vista Ultimate, you will need to use Windows Anytime Upgrade. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro.../overview.mspx -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows Vista Enthusiast --------------------------------------------------------------- "jimmyjones" <jimmyjones@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:_8idnSyEieIIzl_VnZ2dneKdnZydnZ2d@xxxxxx Can I use a Technet Vista x86 download and update home premium already on laptop?

Business, no, as that's not a supported upgrade path. >Ultimate? I don't see why not. Except for something very important: All Technet downloads for OSes are Volume LIcense media, and are just like OEM media -- they can't do "upgrade installations", only "clean" installations.

The only Volume License specific one is Vista Enterprise, which is not available Retail. Technet Volume License media for Enterprise can do both inplace upgrades and clean installs. (VL media is usually only for VL customers and is usually upgrade only, so you got that the wrong way round - a VL customer can request bootable media for a clean install). -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.
