    The in-place upgrade is available for vista to windows 7 with either the Upgrade or full install disk.

    Upgrade Install with Windows 7

    There are certain rules as follows

    You can only upgrade to the same or higher version, Home to home or ultimate and Business to professional etc

    You cannot upgrade from 32 to 64 bit or 64 to 32 bit
