Vista Upgrade Question

[Travis30384]

I have a vista home premium laptop. I never recieved a Vista Dvd when I purchased it. I was wondering if I can upgrade to ultimate without that dvd. I will get vista ultimate upgrade and the windows anytime upgrade dvd. Is this enough? Do I need the Vista Dvd that should have come with my computer?

-edit: Basically, I want to know the following two questions.
1. Will the windows anytime upgrade disc that I get with my purchase be the one that I should have gotten with my computer?
2. Will I only need that disc and the windows ultimate upgrade disc?

When you say Vista DVD- if you mean Vista reinstall disc, that's okay that you didn't get that. I didn't get one with mine either, and most of the people that I know are not getting reinstall discs with their new machines either. I'm not completely sure about this, because I never did upgrade from the version that I had, but I don't think you will need that disc to upgrade if you choose too. I could be wrong though. If you want to upgrade to windows vista ultimate, and you buy an upgrade that is just a vista ultimate upgrade, not the full version, I don't think you will need it, because windows will take the files that you already have (those that premium uses), and it should just add to them to give you the rest of the features that Ultimate has.

Thanks for your help. I never recieved any disc with my laptop. So what i need to know, is when I buy my Vista Ultimate Upgrade, I WILL receive an Anytime Upgrade disc. The microsoft ordering website says that some people may have received the disc with the computer and some did not. That disc is free. So after I get the upgrade disc, and the anytime upgrade disc, will I need anything else to upgrade?

Also, if I need a disk to upgrade, does it need to be a reinstall+upgrade or anytime+upgrade?
Also, if I DO need the reinstall disc, do I go to the microsoft missing software thing?
