I need to replace my primary hard drive and I want to upgrade to Vista from
XP MCE. How do I go about replacing the hard drive and upgrading at the same
time? Do I need to by the Full Version? I hope not.
thanks for any advice.

No, you don't need a Full version. You can use an Upgrade version. You
have three choices:

1. Upgrade to Vista on the old drive, then clone it to the new one.

2. Clone the old drive to the new one, then do an upgrade to Vista.

3. Do a clean installation of XP on the new drive, then upgrade it to
Vista.
