Right, I have Windows 7 Home Premium Retail installed on my desktop, and I've bought Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to put on the desktop I'm building for my girlfriend.
However, I'm thinking it might make more sense to put the 7 Pro on my desktop.
How simple is the install process? I've got this nice idea in my head that I pop in the key and my install magically upgrades itself to Pro version and all of the features appear as necessary, perhaps with the odd file pulled off the disk/internet.
And then I just install Windows 7 Home Premium on the new desktop as normal - since it's a standard retail edition.
Seems easier than mucking around with rearming and registry edits to make the upgrade edition act like a retail, as far as I can tell, although it all depends on how easy the install process is. If I'll need to wipe my Windows install on my desktop, I think I'll give it a miss.
