Hello John,

Yes, you can inplace upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate.

Remember to check the DVDs - Ultimate comes with both x86 (32bit) and x64
(64bit). If your Home Premium is 32 bit, then upgrade to the 32 bit
Ultimate.

There should not be any activation issues as you have a new key. Run the
upgrade from the desktop of your installed system. Select upgrade.
