question for new laptop

hi i just got a new laptop inspiron 1525 from DELL.

i have got vita home premium and want to use Vista ultimate. what is te best method to upgrade??

i di not want o instal all the dell softwares again so si tehr anyway to do it without reinstalling the OS(like if qw can upgrade from homr premium to ultimate, it will be best)

 

i ahve 2 dvd that have vista but they are printed ont he top as vista home premium.
will it work and upgrade to ultimate?

 

tried. if i beet in DVD mode, upgrade option isnt there will ry now when vista is already open

 

i already have dell OEM cd and it came with my laptop(vista home premium)

what i want to know is, can i use same CD to Install ultimate and crack ti using crack loader or any other method?


thanks for your help and i looked at it i think the second link can help me.(though i cannot downlaod it now as downladoing a large file with very slow speeds to a mirror will be appreciated.

if i copy the DVD on to my PC, overwrite the files present in the OEM.Second link)will it work and vista ultimate be installed?
You can also make a PID.TXT file with whatever key you want and put it in the SOURCES folder. This way we can make any flavor of Vista we want, Ultimate, Home Premium etc.

 

ok. thanks. will try it and lets see what happens.

thanks will update the thread in hopefully 24 hours. (have to play around a bit in the New laptop first)

thanks for all the help.

 

hi. i tried and i find that the Vista DVD that i have got from DEll contains only the Home Premium Edition.

i have a Vista Retails CD(without SP1) but i cant use that since i want to upgrade and for upgrade sp1 is necessary.

can anyone guide me to a Place where i can get a Vista DVD with SP1 integrated so i can use it to create a OEM dvd.(Torrents will be perfect since my Net disconnects)


thanks

 

i tried copying the total DVD(which DEll provided me), i overwrote the Folders(the one contained int he Dell ultimate OEM using the link osted above by petar)

then i tried upgrading,the process is done but the vista edition remains home premium so i assumed that the DVD contains only that specific edition.
edit:

it maybe possible that i am not doiung it correctly.

if someone can guide me as to the corretc way. like should i overwrite the folders or ony the specific fileS?)

 

also, i dont think mods will mind if you send the link or the website name in Pm. they may have an objection if you post the link but Pm is not shown on google and such sites so there is no harm. Please let me Know ASAP as i am very eagerto get vista ultimate as i use ultimate on my Home Pc too.

 

i tried again by overwriting the Specific Files. it now asks for a Key.what should i do here and which key should i use?

 

thanks for the reply.

i am a bit of a noob o please answer these:

how do i save as iso? uptill now, i was just copy all data onto my HDD.

then after saving, how do i edit it so as to delete and add the necessary files.

secindly i searched google for Imagx. how do i use it??

Edit:saw you edited your post. is there any way i can install without writing to a CD. by creating image and so ?

 

ok. will try it in an hour and let you know.
one questio, how would i be able to see if ultimate is there or not?

just wanted otknow as i do not have internet on my laptop and currently internet is only on my home PC
