Is it different hardware demands for premium or ultimate? te hp is delivered with Win 7 starter...It says that to install W7, any version, that you need 1GB of RAM as a minimum, so it might be pushing the HP laptop to install Ultimate on it.As it has an Atom processor and only 1GB of memory if you do decide to install a new version, I would install the 32 bit version on the laptop.
