    I ordered my T60 with XP, and then sent for and received a copy of Vista Business. I installed Vista and it is running excellent. My University now has a site lecense for Ultimate, meaning I am entitled to a Product Key. Is there anyway to upgrade to Ultimate without completely reinstalling windows?


    I have looked at the anytime upgrade, but it wants me to purchase a key from an online retailer. Is there perhaps a way to make the anytime upgrade work?

    You could put the disc in and see what happens.

    Not if you format, but make sure to make the discs before you start.
