Upgrade from Hiome Edition to Ultimate

Posted: 02-20-2007, 02:40 PM
Hello All,

i found many posts about purchasing the upgrade .
my company gave me a new cd and an ultimate key and
i would like to just install the new key as i am already running the
home premium edition. i would like to install the new key
without having to re-install the OS.

is this possible?

No.
Insert the Ultimate CD while at the Desktop.
Follow prompts to upgrade to Ultimate.

Will this over ride any or erase any programs installed?

Dan;
It shouldn't.
However it is always a good idea to have current back-ups of all important
data just in case.
