Upgrade?
Hi, I just got a new laptop that comes with Windows Vista Home Premium. And I would like to upgrade it to Ultimate. My dad bought the Vista Ultimate OS and has the CD. I'm wondering if it could be possible to upgrade my OS to Ultimate using that CD... would I need a cd key from Ultimate?

You wouldn't be able to use his CD key. You would have to get another one.

 -mak PS: All you're really missing is Bitlocker (useless to most people) and DreamScene.. There is a very nice DreamScene alternative located here .. currently, it's only for Ultimate users, but v2.0 will be out soon and will be for all Vista users.. and it's free. Why do you want to upgrade if you already have Home Premium?

Well it was just for the DreamScene really, I fell in love
 But yeah, it doesn't seem worth buying an upgrade. Not with that lil difference.
