    Windows 7 RTM Ultimate - Activated (Technet)

    Well, I am not going to go the upgrade route as I have my Technet Subscription....
    Having said that...if I was going to use the upgrade I would go for Home Premium....I mean it has been nice to have Ultimate during the Beta and RC but the reality is that I just don't use the extra features.

    Okay, I give up. I thought I had bookmarked a detailed list of the differences between the several flavors of Win.7; however, I can't seem to find it.

    Anyone have a clue?

    I'm probably going for 2 copies of Home Premium and 1 of Professional. I really don't need Ultimate.

    Home premium doesn't support Bit locker, so if I install the home premium, the partitions locked by bit locker can't be accessed?

    As I understand it, all three include Media Center.

Hi, I mistakenly ordered a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and as a result - am unable to add it to the work network domain - I just screwed up. Is it possible to "upgrade the O/S" (pay to have it unlocked) and change it to "professional" or whatever is needed? Thanks in advance. John
