Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Is that possible? Will i be eligible for the upgrade or as i read somewhere on Microsoft home to home pro to pro and ultimate to ultimate. But i could not tell if that was just examples of the equivalent. I think ultimate is kinda worthless unless you want the extra security, and i figure windows 7 ultimate will be more of a resource hog for games etc, so i figured i would upgrade my vista ultimate and vista home premium both to windows 7 professional.
In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on edition and architecture of Windows Vista you have installed. If you are running a 32 bit version of Vista and want to upgrade to a 64 bit version edition of Windows 7 , you will have to a do clean install, this applies vice-versa. Also, you cannot do downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium.
This will check your system for any compatibility issues before you do the upgrade so you can resolve them. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question
