Since I can not "Upgrade" from XP Pro, will the XP to Vista version restrictions still apply?
When I went to ug to Vista I was told that I could not "upgrade" to a Home versions from a XP Pro version. Something to do with the media parts of Vista not existing in XP Pro. It was a real pain to convince the vendor to take an open copy of Vista Home Premium in exchange for the Vista Pro I've never installed.
Will I need a "qualifying" product to clean install to a new HD at all? If not, then my question is moot.
Thanks in advance.
