I got a new laptop with windows vist home premium installed, I have been
using it for a while, can I upgrade it to bussiness edition without losing
my data and settings?
Business adds Volume Shadow Copy, Offline Files/Folders, Rights
Management Services and Fax and Scan to Home Premium. Also, IIRC,
Business can connect to a Domain, but Home Premium cannot. But it
drops Media Center, Movie Maker, and DVD Maker. Therefore, there's no
upgrade from Home Premium to Business. You have to go to Ultimate,
which has everything.
Look at a feature comparison here:
