Vista Homen Premium Question

[Fred]

I bought Vista Home Premium and loaded it on a new hard drive. What I
failed to notice is Remote Desktop is not a feature of Home Premium. I need
that feature which comes on Business and Ultimate editions. My Home edition
is activated. Can I sell hard drive and all and be OK or will the software
see it is on a different motherboard and squawk?

Thanks,

You can upgrade to Ultimate to get the features you need or call
Microsoft Customer Service and ask them what their policy for resale
is. Your going to get a hundred different answers in here...the best
bet would be to go right to the source by calling and asking yourself.

But my understanding is you can resale your original installation disk
as long as you remove it from your computer, You do not need to sell
the hard drive with the installation on it. But do not quote me on this

Dear Fred

Why not bite the bullet, and upgrade to Ultimate?

I performed such an upgrade Vista home ---> Ultimate and it worked fine for
me.

I would not contemplate upgrading XP --> Vista, but I can see no logical
reason why upgrading from one edition to another should cause a problem.
