As long as you have Win2K installed, it does not matter if it is from an
upgrade edition. If you have to reinstall Vista you also have to reinstall
Win2k and supply it with the Win2k disk, but as long as Win2k is installed,
it does not matter if it came from and upgrade edition.

To bad you cannot run the Vista Upgrade Advisor though, as it would
give you an idea as to which of your programs and your software
might give you problems.

Thanks Carey for your response. Unfortunately Vista Upgrade Advisor
gives me a message upon installation that it only runs on XP-SP2 and
Vista itself!

I just can't seem to find a clear definitive answer on this.

Many thanks,
Mike
