    Hello x,

    Did you executed the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor?
    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
    This will report if you can safely install Windows 7.

    If so,

    You can upgrade straight to Windows 7 Ultimate, recommended is a clean install, see link below:

    If you have any questions, just ask us. ;-)

    Good suggestions from zx81.

    Yes, upgrade straight to Win7 Ultimate.

    You can get the Win7 Ultimate upgrade and install it over your Vista Home Premium.
