    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

    ah good to know (re: x64) still now i have a vista to archive in case need should arise (I only had slipstreamed vistas with no upgrade option, lost the "originals")

    Thanks again.

    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.
