| Can't upgrade Vista Ultimate so...... I have Vista Ultimate on my machine which I can't upgrade using windows 7 Home Premium (only Win 7 Ultimate allows this to happen). I am not in the position to give up working for a day or two to do a clean install of Win 7 and all the programs etc. In the circumstances, i have decided to put a new hard disk in my computer and install Win 7 on there (making the computer a dual boot machine). I can then install various programs and move the data over a period of time and eventually abandon using the Vista installation. Before I do this, are there any drawbacks to this approach? JP      |
