do i have to just upgrade my old XP Home edition?
Mark said:To be absolutely clear.
I have a valid copy Windows XP OEM. I'm rebuilding the computer for Vista.
I'd like to to purchase "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium UPGRADE [DVD]"
(not OEM) and use that to do a clean install on an unformatted drive using
the old OEM XP CD as proof for the upgrade (don't want the old OS on the hard
drive)
The old way of doing this was to boot your upgrade CD and during the
installation it asks you to insert the old OS installation CD to prove that
you own it. I want to know if that is still the way it works and that the
upgrade noted above will accept an OEM CD as proof of previous operating
system.
