    Hi, I just bought an Asus G50VT-X1 that comes with Vista ome Premium 64 bits on it. If I want to format and install Vista Ultimate 64 bits, will that same key works on ultimate?

    No, you paid for Home Premium and you get Home Premium. End story.

    Home Premium 64 bits DVD is actually identical with Ultimate 64 bit. The key that you have will unlock which version you will get at the time of the install. So, if you have Home Premium 64 bit key, you will get Home Premium 64 bit.

    Like many have already stated, your key will not work for Vista Ultimate.
