    Vista upgrade media

    Microsoft Vista Ultimate discount software information, features and screenshots


    Three Questions

    1) Can you do a clean install with this?

    2) Is it limited to one computer or is it like a retail version?

    3) Do you need a previous windows to buy it?

    Cheers

    1) Can you do a clean install with this?


    Yes probably, but you will have to have a qualifying OS on the machine for it to upgrade from.

    2) Is it limited to one computer or is it like a retail version?

    Yes - 1 boxed product = 1 licence = for 1 machine only

    3) Do you need a previous windows to buy it?

    Yes, to upgrade you need a qualifying original Operating system to "Upgrade" from...so you need XP home or Pro on the machine before you can install Vista to it
