And inaccurate, there was never a 64-bit Starter edition!

Oh well I was always going to do a custom install as
- Have XP so no choice
- Nice to clear out the “trash” / applications you have never used that accumulates over the years
- Will get a new HDD to install on ( probably a 1TB model) and use my old ones as backup

Why is that ridiculous? That's exactly what I would have expected, although I'd always do a fresh install if possible. It's obvious you can't "upgrade" from 64 bit to 32 bit, or from a Domain enabled product to a non-domain enabled product. You can only do an in-place upgrade to the matching product, or to Ultimate. Anything else would obviously go tits up - think of the installed applications  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

Why can you upgrade from Vista home or pro to 7 pro??? That seems odd to me, especially when you can upgrade to the Ultimate version from those products. _________________

You can't In the same way you can't upgrade from XP home to XP pro, or from Vista Home to Vista Business. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I meant to type can't!  Why is it, exactly, that you can upgrade from home or pro to ultimate, but you can't upgrade from home or pro to pro. _________________
