Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade from Vista Home
Premium to Vista Office or Ultimate?
I have just upgraded from XP to Vista Home, that was included with my
Dell package I purchased late in 2006, and I need the fax facility
that MS has decided not to include with Home Premium.

If all you want is fax, it is cheaper to buy Vista compatible fax software.

If you have a USRobotics fax modem, you can just download Classic Phone
Tools from the USR site. It can be cheapest to buy a basic USRobotics modem
with the free software.

Hi,

Yes, it's possible to upgrade to Vista Ultimate via Anytime Upgrade:

However, it might be significantly cheaper to use a third party fax product
if there is no other reason for the upgrade. There is a myriad of products
available online that work with Vista.
