    Hi, I have a copy of Vista Ultimate that hasn't been used. And I'am going to be purchasing an hp hdx 9494 soon, it comes pre-loaded with Vista home premium.... But I would like to do a clean install of Vista Ultimate on it. When and if I do this, is it likely that im going to have all kinds of driver issues etc??

    Thanks!!

    Not at all, all the Vista versions use the same drivers.
