How do I upgrade to Vista Ultimate? How much will it cost?

I clicked the "Upgrade Vista" link from the System screen...... but its a dead link (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=59671&clcid=0x409&P=&LCID=1033&REFNUM=000000&REQ=89578-023-2479051-71378&TARGET=1&ISOCTRY=US)? Yeah but theres no problems with Vista, right? :rolleyes:

Anyway I just want dreamscene so any help?

link works for me...

if you bought a system say from dell, acer etc, they usually package an "anytime" upgrade disc with it. Check your boxes.

The following link will take you to Microsoft's page on upgrading:

If you don't have the "anytime upgrade" disk that comes with new pc's, you will either have to order an upgrade version or you can order the anytime upgrade disk for $7.00 shipping. Or you could borrow a disk from somebody.

gl, hope the link works...

Just received the "Anytime Upgrade" disk....

It took about two weeks to get it. I paid $7.00, thought it would come UPS. It came via US Postal Service.

what do they charge to go from Home Premium to Ultimate tho?

First, select the edition of Windows Vista™ that you would like to upgrade from.
Windows Vista Home Premium

Next, select the edition of Windows Vista that you want to upgrade to.
Windows Vista Ultimate

USD 159.00

A little steep.

For a comparison, it is $79.00 to go from Home Basic to Home Premium.

I really don't recomend using the anytime upgrade disk unless you really don't want to reload your system. I would pay the extra for a full oem version and do a fresh install.

I had a friend buy an hp notebook and get the anytime upgrade. Since in my case I was reloading the system from scratch to remove all of the hp trial ware and junk I had to reinstall vista home and activate it. Then I had to load the anytime upgrade. I prefer to do a clean install.
