Boris Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to ask.Can you please explain more clearly what you mean by keeping the "backup installer" and the version of "windows ultimate" in your post.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 What i mean is that i have a backup restore of windows home premium on my pc as a partition what i am asking for will that partition be safe if i install windows ultimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Is your backup restore a disk image file created by something like Acronis ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Is that a "Recovery Partition" ?That is - was it already created on the PC when you first got it - set up by the PC manufacturer so you can do a restore back to the original "Factory Settings" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 If you don't know the answer - what make/model is your PC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I personally would prefer to have a full Vista DVD before I started deleting Operating Systems, rather than relying on a Recovery Partition.What extras do you think you will gain by installing Vista Ultimate rather than Vista Home Premium ?See the comparison here :-/>http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/n/choose.mspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Quite probably - it depends which of them are already included in Vista.All the drivers you need will already be installed in your existing Home Premium installation, so just run a tool like Driver Magician Lite http://www.drivermagician.com/Lite.htm and back up all your existing non-included in Vista drivers (those shown in red) to a memory stick or CD, then they will be readily available as and when you do a re-install for that motherboard.
