    Recently, I purchased an Asus laptop with an OEM Vista 64-bit installation. I then ordered their free upgrade to Win 7, but I couldn't wait for it to arrive to try the new OS. So I purchased a student version (2 activations only, no support) of Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit (full edition) and am using this now. However, I have just received the free Asus upgrade by mail: Win 7 64-bit Home Premium (upgrade). All have product keys.

    1. Is it possible to easily downgrade to this lower version of Win 7, the Home Premium upgrade?
    2. Will my Win 7 Ultimate activation be credited back to me? Or will I lose 1 of my 2 activations allowed for that product key?

    I know it sounds like I am nitpicking, but, as a college student, every penny counts :)

    Hope that made sense. Thank you.

    Q. Is it possible to easily downgrade to this lower version of Win 7, the Home Premium upgrade?

    A. No.  You would have to reformat your hard drive, reinstall Windows Vista, then upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Q. Will my Win 7 Ultimate activation be credited back to me?

    A.  All you have to do is "activate by phone" if you are unable to activate Windows 7 Ultimate in the future.
