    Can you upgrade a non-validated Windows XP-Pro with a Vista Ultimate Retail version?

    Or do I have to buy a product key and upgrade with Vista Ultimate Upgrade edition?

    TXS

    You need to be running a properly licensed "genuine" version of Windows XP if you plan on upgrading to Windows Vista using the "upgrade" version of Vista.  Otherwise, you would need to purchase a "Full Retail Version" of Vista and not an upgrade version.
