I was a beta tester for Vista and so, received a copy of Vista Ultimate.
I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed (with SP-1). I tried to
upgrade to Ultimate, with no luck. I received a prompt that the installed
version was "newer" and the only thing I could do was a clean install, which
I did. Of course, this lead to driver issues and the usual clean
installation headaches. I also lost use of my built-in webcam and it's
associated program(s).
I subsequently did a complete restore to factory condition so everything
works right, but would still like to upgrade to Ultimate so I can use the
laptop on the domain at work.
Assuming the "newer version" issue was caused by S-1 being installed, can I
do an upgrade if I remove SP-1?
If SP-1 isn't the issue, is there anyway I can do an upgrade to Ultimate
without losing all my installed drivers and programs?
