Trouble Upgrading Vista Home premium to Ultimate, "Pls Help".

[anisavvu]

HI, I have just bought a HP notebook which has Vista Home premium 32bit O/S with Service pack 1.

I tried upgrading this to Vista Ultimate with the Upgrade DVD. After entering the product key, I opted for the upgrade, after a while a message came up saying that the upgrading is disabled.

I read somewhere that this trouble might have been caused by SP 1. So, one has to delete the SP1 and then upgrade.

I looked into the add/remove programmes in the control panel, but there is no SP1 in the list.

Pls help me find the solution to this problem and help me upgrade my notebook to Windows Vista Ultimate.

Hello anisavvu, welcome to Vista Forums!


You said the current version is 32-bit but you didn't say if the version you want to upgrade to is 32-bit, as you know there is no upgrade path from 32-bit to 64-bit; it would have to be a clean install.


Keep us informed!

Yes the upgrade DVD is a Ultimate 32bit as well.

Hi,

Before you do that, are you certain that is the reason ?

The upgrade dvd should say on it if it has SP1 included.

Hope it helps

I had a look into the installed updates, it doesn't have the service pack 1 in the list, so maybe it was included in the software itself. I don't know what else to do.
