A Vista Home Premium key is usable in Vista Home Basic?

• The disk (with no key) installed Vista Home Premium, and the license key OEM is for... Home Basic!

  I recently did a clean install with the disc that came with my Dell XPS6400 (bought in the auction) local computer, which had only "Vista 32bits" written on it and no product key.  I thought I could use the key on the sticker on the underside of the computer OEM license, even if the 2 characters in the 3rd section were partially missing - they had to be one of the other four.  When OEM license was initially considered valid, I realized that I had not yet downloaded a service pack, but after that, he was still to come as being invalid!  Then, I found that the version of Vista that was on the disc was "Home Premium" and the OEM for "Home Basic" license key  Do I have to reinstall the whole system, drivers, etc., in order to establish the upgrade?  (Please say "NO", there is an easier way to do this!    Here's the MGADiag. -I hope it helps.  :-}

• How to change the Vista Vista Home Basic to Home Premium

  Hi he joined the forum, so Hello to everyone.

  Could someone tell me please in the right direction with my problem.
  I tried of me sorting, but I do not understand what to do.

  I've had my Toshiba laptop pre-installed with Vista Home Basic now for six months, everything was fine, so I decided to move to Home Premium.
  I've updated without problem and everything was fine until I had problem with the laptop and had to reformat.

  And here is my problem, being a bit naïve and stupid I have no record or instructions to get my upgrade back.

  I tried to find a solution but don't know what to do.

  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

  Shaun

  How is that you updated your system? With a DVD update, or something similar? Or maybe online?
  Would be useful to know, because if it s not clear how you´ve updated your system at Home Premium person could probably help you.

  Would appreciate your comments. :)

• Given upgrade Vista Home Basic to Home Premium 7

  Hello world! had a doubt: I plan to upgrade my Vista Home Basic to Home Premium 7, but I don't know if my computer will work as smooth as Vista. My system has achieved:

  • 2 GB OF RAM
  • NVidia GeForce 9500 GT (it will work very well. I think)
  • 250 GB HARD drive (well, it's like 230 GB)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.8 GHz per CPU
  • Everything except Office 2010 (Beta) and games very sophisticated (not Internet because I don't want to get viruses)

  My big problem is the games. I like to play great games like Assassin's Creed and Crysis, which move more great on Vista. I don't know if they will work as good as sound in Windows 7. Also, I would like to know the reqs. recommended for this system. Please answer!

• Update Vista Home Basic to Premium Edition Office to allow access by laptop running Windows 7

  Could someone please advise if I have Vista Home basic desktop Home Premium so I can use laptop running preloaded Windows 7 Office Access? I saw advice that W7 can only comm if Office Home basic is updated! If PORTABLE PERFORMER pre-installed w7 MAY ACCESS DESKTOP. Is this possible and how?

  You can move from Home Basic to Home Premium, but Microsoft sells more than Vista.  You need to find a copy of retail, Vista Home Premium (not OEM) somewhere like eBay.  You can use either a copy of the upgrade or full license to do the upgrade.  eHow has an article on the actual upgrade process.

  http://www.ehow.com/how_6297506_upgrade-Vista-Home-Basic-Premium.html

  The article mentions that you need some version of upgrade, but they speak the old Anytime Upgrade which is no longer available.  Ignore this.

• Impossible to Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium. Don't want to do a clean install. How to get around this problem?

  just bought an upgrade to Vista Home Premium with service pack 1.  I'm upgrading to Vista Home Basic.  The program tells me that the upgrade has been disabled and he wants to do me a clean install.  I really don't want to do a clean install.

  If your installed Vista Home Basic has recently installed Service Pack 2 > uninstall Vista Service Pack 2 for him >

  Do your upgrade to Home Premium Service Pack 1 > then redownload/reinstall Vista Service Pack 2 again.

  And make sure your Vista installed and the upgrade of Vista are the versions both either 32-bit or 64-bit, depending on what is your Vista Basic.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Info is if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit Vista.
