| | XP OEM to Vista Retail Upgrade EULA question I'm planning on upgrading from XP Home edition OEM to the Vista Retail upgrade edition. With the OEM edition I bought when I built my computer I know I was responsible for my own tech support, but if I upgrade with the retail version upgrade for home premium do I get the same tech support features as if I buy the full retail version? Or is it considered an OEM and thus be not supported (since the license is incorporated between the new upgrade and the old software version?)- if that's the case I'd rather get the 40$ cheaper OEM Vista to install. I've read the EULA but didn't see this mentioned at all. |

| | Re: XP OEM to Vista Retail Upgrade EULA question Any retail version installation of Windows Vista entitles one to Microsoft's technical support. That support would include free installation support and two additional support incidents at no charge. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A.L.B" wrote: I'm planning on upgrading from XP Home edition OEM to the Vista Retail upgrade edition.
