My question is this, I have XP PRO QEM installed on my home built system so is it possible to use the OEM Disc as an upgrade path for Vista home premium retail. I know a clean install would be required which is what I want, but I need to know if works from OEM TO RETAIL.
Sorry if I've missed this question answered somewhere in this forum but I have read a lot on vista upgrades here and have not seen it!

Thanks for any help!

On the OEM XP to retail vista upgrade I'm sorry to say that the more I've read the more confused I have become.

The only safe answer seems to be, buy a full install retail version.

Sorry I know that's not the best answer.

i'm in the same boat and i would have to think that you could go from oem to retail, because if not that would keep all the dell, hp, compaq's, and so on of the world from upgrading.
