    So heres the situation:
    I've recently purchased a 160GB Thinkpad T500 which comes with 64bit Vista Home Premium. I'll be recieving the 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade sometime after Oct 22nd.

    I also have a Window 7 Party pack coming with the full version 32bit Windows 7 Ultimate Edition BUT with the 64bit Window 7 anytime upgrade.

    What I want to know is:
    Can I do a clean install of 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate on my T500?

    Can I then use the Window 7 Home Premium upgrade I get from Lenovo on a different computer that is running Vista?

    How much space would Windows 7 Home Premium use compared to Windows 7 Ultimate?
