    hiya!
    not sure if this is in the right area.
    I need a Vista SP1 or SP2 32bit Business or Ultimate (currently XP PRO) ISO to do an in place upgrade from XP so I can get to 7 (and possibly 10)


    Thanks


    Hardware is no issue.
    I already took machine from old Dell 8300/ universal restore and have it running on a E7500 C2D.
    (this machine previously had 10 pro 64bit).

    I have a legacy machine (dell 8300) with xp pro.
    we are trying to preserve the install ( programs/ printers/ networks shares/ etc.) but upgrade it 10.
    The path i am taking is:
    XP PRO > Vista SP1/SP2 (business or ultimate) > 7 (pro or ultimate; based on vista version) > 10.

    This is more of a "see if i can do it" project.

    Currently I am in need of a Vista SP1/SP2 Business or Ultimate X86; disc WITH the upgrade option available.

    Thanks!

    Languages: English
    SHA1: 98C2FE41181C140F4CC8ED6245F5C788D4E21350

    and this
    File Name: en_windows_vista_business_sp2_x64_dvd_342327.iso

    Ya, but subsequent upgrade path will be changed from Ultimate to Professional.

    Yes, provided the baseline Vista is Ultimate. Otherwise you need to modify/remove ei.cfg from the 7 ISO to do the upgrade.
