hello all,

I've bought the Windows Vista Home Premium (in Spanish) thinking that i
could then change the language!
When I found out it was not possible in the Home Premium version, I've made
the upgrade to Windows Ultimate online!
the question now is... can I order/ask Microsoft for a new DVD of Windows
Vista Ultimate and delete the Product IDs from the ones I have, bouth Home
Premium version DVD and the Ultimate from the upgrade I've made?

thanks a lot for your help.

No. You would have to purchase your own
Windows Vista Ultimate DVD and license.

You really don't need to do that, all you have to do is purchase a new
license/product key. All editions are on the same disk, just that the
product key determines the edition that is installed.

thanks for the help Andre Da Costa!

by the way... how can i know the product key from the upgrade I've made?
I only got and exe file called "WindowsAnytimeUpgrade" ...should I always
install first the home premium version and then run this file?

thanks once again!
