Hi

Can I upgrade to Vista Ultimate from an OEM installed home premium, using
the OEM disc that they gave me with the laptop?

Also will this disc also allow me to upgrade a preinstalled OEM on a new HP
dv9288ea? I am happy to buy two keys,

B

The disc is HOME PREMIUM oem

Sorry I meant to say#

Hi,

If the OEM disk is a generic full image disk, then you should be able to use
it to upgrade the machine it came with for this. As to using it on another
machine, that is highly unlikely as they are usually bios-locked and will
not function on a different manufacturer's system.
