I am buying a new laptop. My choices all come with Vista Home Premium preinstalled at no extra cost. I have an Action Pack subscription and have multiple licenses for both Vista Ultimate and Vista Business. Can I use my Action Pack disks to upgrade the preinstalled Home Premium version on the laptop without wiping the hard drive clean and starting fresh? -- malcolm |

No. Home Premium to Business Edition is not considered an upgrade. Ultimate would be an upgrade, and would work. Probably. For retail it would, can't say about Action Packs. -- Richard G.
