    Updating from 7 Home Premium to Business Versions


    Does anyone know how one updates from Home Premium and what it costs? Seems like a rip off if we have to pay $200 after buying a promo PC with Home Premium and then want to use XP mode to run a favorite XP oriented program.

    If you have an XP disc, you could always run VMWare.

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.
