Getting ready for Windows 7 and in checking my computers I found that on my pc (Dell pre-loaded Vista Home Premium) I do have the 'Windows Anytime Upgrade' option in my start menu, however on my laptop with Vista Ultimate that option is nowhere to be found even though on the installation CD it states that the option is included. Prior to posting this I found on another forum the statement "You will not have the "Anytime Upgrade" option if you have Vista Ultimate, but you might still have the folder on your hard drive. Take a look around for it." I don't understand, can someone please explain?

Ultimate is it. Nothing higher. That seems right.

That makes sense but why would it say on the installation disc that it is included if there's no higher way to go?

The Vista DVD's hold all versions of the OS, so it depends on your licence key what version you purchased, its included as an option for the lower OS's.
