ArunOnline Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have a license for Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 Upgrade. It requires any one of the below for installing the upgrade pack:Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) Business (N, K, KN) / NOTE: “N”, “K”, and “KN” are specialized editions available for certain markets Business Blade PC Edition Ultimate Home Premium Home BasicWindows XP (32-bit or 64-bit) XP Professional XP Tablet PC Edition XP Pro N XP Pro Blade PC Edition XP Home EditionSo I would like to buy the cheapest option, either Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows XP Home. The cheapest is Windows XP Home. What I would like to know is will there be any advantage if I upgrade from Windows Vista Home Basic since it is the same family like better compatibility than upgrading from XP Home Basic? Has anyone tried upgrading from both before and noticed whether there are any issues after the upgrade? BTW, this is for a new PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Just install the upgrade without a product key and tell it during the install, that its the full version. Once you get that installed, run the upgrade from inside Windows. Use the product key this time and install your upgrade. Hope that helps.I have the Vista Business upgrade and did it just like that^^^^ Edited November 30, 2008 by accessdenied042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
