hi

i got 1 vista ultimate now..but im using vista home premium
i wanna upgrade from home premium to ultimate without del any personal files..not clean installation.just upgrade only
so can it b done?

yes...

or if u re scared, move ur personal files to another partition before doing so...

i no make any partition from the start i received my laptop..i no reformat the laptop when receive it n use until now..if not i will just reformat the windows to vista ultimate without worries

well, u ve the external HDDs, dun u??

ya..but in the mean time it takes time to transfer my files to other hdd..and also lazy to choose files n transfer..some software is important to me which i duwan get deleted and i dun have the installer for those softwares

then jz sell the ultimate cd......no more fuss!

im asking for the upgrade option..not wat to do with my ultimate
if upgrade without any harms to my files then i will upgrade
but now i just only get unsure ans

hmm.. about ur software, why dont u list down the softwares u wanted and download them back later? please note, some software doesnt need to be install, copy+paste works, bt not all

assume you are using x86 home premium and upgrade to x86 ultimate. no problem. correct me if im wrong.

some like visual studio,photoshop,etc.all those r ori and install from my coll..but i grad and exp for me to buy ori as there got a reason i duwan buy pirated

wats x86?64 bit?

x86 - 32bit...

x86 = 32bit
x64 = 64bit

Or you can save/dl all the programs installer and place them in a safe place just in case then reinstall lor

I've upgraded my vista home premium to ultimate no prob..
Been using it ever since.. I just pop in the ultimate cd, follow the onscreen guide and after 20min or so it's done..
I didn't have to reinstall anything..
If the software works in the home premium it should work in ultimate too..
I upgraded the home premium 32bit to ultimate 32bit, don't know ar if it would work from 32bit to 64bit though..

i also upgrade it to ultimate from premium without formating it.

hmm

will it be slower abit if compare with install a fresh copy of ultimate?

for example if upgrade then it will hog more resources..

i dun think so, i think the performance still the same i mean as fresh as u install the fresh copy...

finally i upgraded it

now i can use dreamscene..thanks for you guys help
rly appreciated it

i wondering if those people got OEM sticker stick at the laptop or desktop de.. can they upgrade their window by just put the vista ultimate dvd inside ? then upgrade? will the serial key not valid anymore?

no..each version got their own cd key
if like tht then ppl will buy basic then upgrade to ultimate(jack sparrow) using basic's cd key
