RC1 to vista ultimate

[Guest]

Is it possible to buy the upgrade to ultimate and use it on RC 1?

 

[Carey Frisch [MVP]]

No. You would need to purchase a "Full License" version of Vista
and perform a "clean install".

It's not possible, but even if it were, it wouldn't be a good thing. Clean
install is best with new OS.

My error. I still think a clean install is best.

Yes, he can use the upgrade option. He just has to buy an Ultimate full
edition, that's all.

Vista works differently from all earlier versions of Windows. Vista is
installed by a block copy process. XP and earlier were installed by file
copying. It makes a difference because a block copy guarantees that there
are no pieces of the old OS left. All installations of Vista are clean
installations of the OS.
