Windows 7 - Upgrade Vista Business to Windows 7 Home Premium?

| | Upgrade Vista Business to Windows 7 Home Premium? What are the "upgrade" rules? I don't need Windows 7 Professional but sometimes upgrades don't work if you are moving to a package lower on the feature tree. Please let me know if you have a definitive answer or give me a pointer to the correct place to ask. |

| | Thanks much for the quick response. That's unfortunate. I'm actually running Win XP Pro and have the Dell upgrade to Vista Business that I never installed. My idea was to upgrade to Vista then to 7 so I would not have to reinstall all my programs. Is that a reasonable approach if I buy the Windows 7 Professional upgrade? Alternately... Can I use Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade to do a clean install on my computer that has Win XP Pro installed? That is certainly an "upgrade" :-) |

| | If you wanted to not lose anything on your computer, then you would need to upgrade your XP to the Vista Business then to Windows 7 Professional. I would recommend that you backup anything that you do not want to lose to be safe though. If you do not mind doing a clean install instead, then you can do a clean install with the Windows 7 upgrade version using the same method as with a upgrade Vista below.
