Hi mates, I just bought a dell inspiron 1525 with vista basic installed with a copy of vista home basic dvd.After reading in forum i came to know that i can also convert my vista home basic to vista ultimate. Now i like to ask that do i need OEM file too as other members are requesting or i just need to replace keys with ultimate oem keys in PID.TXT If i change only key with ultimate oem key in my dell vista home basic dvd with the help of ultraiso then should it become ORIGINAL OEM VISTA ULTIMATE or not?(like a dell vista ultimate) I want my dell vista home basic to change as dell vista ultimate with all logos and other stuffs. so for this i need to change only key in PID.TXT or i have to change something else?
I have already dell home vista basic dvd with me, I want to make it ultimate by changing its key... plz guide me....
OMG... U r genius... Petar... The file u gave me have everything i wanted... Petar in ur posted dell ultimate folder dere is PID.TXT too. Do i need to replace the keys or i can use existing one? I have to paste wallpaper in web>wallpaper folder with name of wallpaper1to wallpaper6? and one more thing i have to add source file in my dell vista home basic iso with ultra iso,thats it? anything else? Thanks a lot petar and urie for ur support... regards
Thanks petar again, one more thing i want to know that,can i remove PID.TXT from source and boot.wim? dere are 2 PID.TXT in dell oem dvd... do i need to change both PID.TXT or only replace my source folder with your posted dell ultimate one? how to enable feature which ask me for oem key during installtion.i am asking this coz i want to use single dvd for all version by just putting the key of my choice. regards
Well, remove both PID's and SOURCES folder from your DVD and put the one I give you. It will automaticly install Ultimate, no key needed during setup.
Thank you for posting this, however I can not try it right now because I just ended up making a disc without the unattended scripts. I will try it in the future possibly, hopefully it will help someone else though!
HP Compaq nx8220 Hi everyone! This topic is just great and very helpfull! I would lik to know which OEM do i need to use for my HP Compaq nx8220 notebook? Is it HP or Compaq. Everest tels me that the OEM ID is HP, but the BIOS is Compaq so I am little bit confused... I read on the HP support website this are the available upgrades: Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Home Basic Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to Windows Vista Home Premium Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista Business Thank you very much for your help!
