    Hey i was wondering if anyone knew if I could upgrade from Professional to Ultimate without doing a clean install. Like could i hit the upgrade button and not have to wipe my hardrive?

    You can do an Anytime Upgrade from the Control Panel, it takes about 10 minutes and unlocks the Ultimate Bits...you can go to the local computer store and purchase an anytime upgrade key or with a credit card you can purchase it in the upgrade Wizard. Also if you have an Ultimate Key you can enter it in the Wizard.

    HTH,
