| Upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium from RC1 Hi all- I had a question I did a clean install of Windows Vista RC1 over my copy of windows xp home edition. I then later realized that I had lost my XP install disk and serial number. Does this mean i will be unelegible for the upgrade edition of Windows Vista Home Premium? Will i have to pay the 259.00 for the full version or can i pay 159.00 for the upgrade version?      |

| Re: Upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium from RC1 You cannot use a Vista retail upgrade edition unless you have a qualifying legacy Windows running on your computer. If you cannot find the XP Home cd and product key to reinstall Home with then you will need to purchase a full edition of Vista. Is there any possibility that you made an image backup of your XP Home volume before you installed Vista RC1?
