    I upgraded my 7 pro to ultimate...

    and my son wants to go from vista business to vista ultimate. (he doesn't want to get windows 7 until he gets a student discount which is in 3 months). I told him i would buy him a key...which i did. But when i go on his computer and go to the anytime upgrade program it only gives me 1 option which is compare versions. And theres no where to put the key. I JUST SPENT OVER 100$ AND IT DOESN'T GIVE ME A ENTER A KEY OPTION PLEASE HELP :(

    You must have a Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade DVD in order to perform an upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate.  Please review: Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade FAQ

    Note:  The Windows Anytime Upgrade procedure is different with Windows 7.  With Windows 7, you can just type in a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade product key in the Windows Anytime Upgrade application to upgrade.  With Windows Vista, you must use a Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade DVD.
