  • I want to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. At the moment, I have XP Home. Is it possible to upgrade by simply buying the Vista Ultimate upgrade, or is it not possible to upgrade from the Home addition of XP? Thanks.


    The Answer by Julia J 2.0 :

    Yes I think you will have no problem upgrading : )

    If you have Windows XP HOME UPGRADE already on your PC can you buy the Windows Vista Premium UPGRADE? Or will it not work? Thanks!!

    The Answer by Kainon :

    That is a good question, and on Microsoft’s website there is no clear answer. But you are running Windows XP even though you upgraded from another version of Windows to get there. And according to the Microsoft website as long as you are running XP you can use the Vista upgrade. The one sure way to know is to run the Windows Vista upgrade advisor. I have included a link to where you can download it. Good luck hope that this helps.

    Edit

    But before you do that consider that if you ever have to reinstall your OS for any reason, will have to install the original OS then the XP upgrade and then the Vista upgrade. Just a little something to think about
