You cannot upgrade from XP Pro to Vista Home, as that would result in a loss
of functionality. A clean install would be required.
If you upgrade your XP to Vista Business, then you cannot upgrade again to
Home Premium. Clean install only.

If you want Home Premium, then you will have to buy the Home Premium retail
upgrade, and perform a Custom Install.
