Upgrade from Starter to Home Premium with Upgrade DVD?

Hi there, i have the upgrade for windows 7 home premium, a member of the household has recently brought a netbook which has windows 7 starter. I am wondering if i connect an external dvd drive to the netbook, if i can do an easy upgrade to home premium on this netbook?

thanks

You can do any Anytime Upgrade for which you just need a key, you dont need any disk or external dvd drive.
