This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you cannot do the Anytime Upgrade (which is by far the easiest), then just put in your Ultimate DVD and choose Upgrade.
If you had Vista Home installed on the computer from the start, you can not upgrade to Windows 7 Home Edition and then upgrade to Windows 7 Utlimate. Did the computer have Windows 7 on it when you bought it? Windows 7 32 bit Home to Windows 7 32 bit Utlimate only. If you have a 64 bit system you can only upgrade to a 64 bit verion.

I would suggest your best bet is the Windows Anytime Upgrade. Should be a link somewhere off your start menu
