Vista -> W7 Upgrades
OK, my fault for making assumptions (and forgetting what I'm running). I admit that I did not check the upgrade pages for specific versions of Vista and what can -- and can not -- be upgraded to what.
Two computers, one running Vista Ultimate and another Vista Home Premium. Two copies of Windows 7 Professional. Upgrades: zero.
Neither version of Vista will upgrade to W7 Pro. Why not? What the hell does it matter? Especially for Home Premium as W7 Pro is an upgrade (kind of, really it just installs additional features).
So my fault for not reading the fine print and going only on the hype of "Vista can be upgraded."
Here I was expecting to provide a glowing report on my upgrade experience but I never got out of the batter's box.
UPDATE: The chart on this page shows what I'm talking about. Vista Home Premium can be upgraded to anything but W7 Premium. Of course!
