Uprgrading From RC1?

[Guest]

I'm not really sure if this is in the right place, or whether this question
has been answered EXACTLY before (I'm sure it has, but I couldn't find it),
but if I want Vista Home Premium, and I already have RC1 will I need to/can
I..

Buy Home Premium Upgrade Disk and upgrade (without uninstalling my programs)?
Buy HP Upgrade Disk and do a fresh install (can I do this) ?
Or will I have to buy the full Home Premium package (which costs a whole lot
more)?


And also, if I have to buy the full Home Premium package, would I also have
to get the full Ultimate package, or could I buy the Upgrade disk for
Ultimate?

Upgraded RC1 yesterday (1/30) with retail version of Ultimate Upgrade with no
issues. I can't imagnine that there will be an issue with other Vista
versions, ge Home Premium and will install this version today on 2 other PC's
over RC1. Licence does state that you have have a valid xp installed, which I
do on dual boot on all systems. Both OS's are on a seperate partion.

You would need the full upgrade, or install XP on the machine then
upgrade. RC1 isn't a supported upgrade path.

That is unfortunate for the users that upgraded to RC1 from XP, though.
