Hello i just wanted to ask one simple question, and that is, " How can i upgrade windows 7 home premium to windwos 7 ultimate without losing any data, programs, movies, music and documents on my hard drive?" when i boot from cd and install, does it keep everything? Hope it will be a simple answer. Thank you.

As far as I understand, you should be able to do the upgrade with any Windows 7 Ultimate discs, provided they are legitimate and unique. All in all, it shouldn't be a problem BUT I would recommend that you copy your files on DVDs or a separate / external disk - you can never be too careful in these matters. Once lost is forever lost, is the rough rule. I would be glad to see you avoid it.

I think the only way to upgrade from one version of Windows 7 to another is by using the Windows Anytime Upgrade.

I don't know what the procedures are for reinstalling AFTER you have an updated system, but you might want to check to see if it might be a hassle and easier to just purchase a new copy of Windows.
