In that case you're probably not entitled to the upgrade - that should go to whoever (now) owns the version you sold.

+1 Because you owned the copy of Vista at some stage doesn't entitle you to the upgrade. YOU have to own and have Vista to legally get the upgrade.

As the OP stated - windows 7 upgrade can upgrade from xp or vista so as long as you already have that on your target computer you will be fine.

So basically he is saying that the upgrade isnt directly linked to the copy of Vista that was bought to get the upgrade, but any legal copy of Vista/XP can be used to perform the upgrade with.

Therefore if you own Vista already - you buy this then sell the second copy of Vista or even sell the original version and then use the upgrade yourself with your "2nd" copy of Vista.

Should be fine in theory and you get the upgrade for what you pay minus what you can sell one of your (now) 2 copies of Vista for.

I am not sure if this is what you meant, but you cant actually upgrade from XP to Windows 7.

You can BUY an upgrade from XP to Windows 7, but you will have to do a clean install (wipe the disk and "start again").

If you sell your copy of Vista on ebay for £164 then this deal will only cost you £1. Why not put that as the deal price if we're just making numbers up?

Yeah I meant you can use the upgrade with either vista or xp but will have to do a clean install with xp and might even have to do a clean install with xp as the actua versions you can upgrade from are very limited.

I doubt this plan would work. Surely you would need the vista on your pc and then use the win7 upgrade disk to upgrade.

MS will surely then invalidate the original vista key
