| | Upgrading from Home Premium to Ultimate Hello Everybody My old laptop came with home premium loaded and I upgraded to Vista Ultimate. The mother board went kaputt on my laptop so I had to buy a new one. Upon trying to upgrade once more I get an error message as follows: "setup cannot run on this version of the operating system. To install windows please try booting from the install media". My new laptop came loaded with a 32bit version of Home Premium and the Ultimate upgrade version that I have is also 32 bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & regards -- PF |
