Subject: [access-uk] Upgrading a Dell laptop to Vista Premium
Hi
I'm not sure where to post this but hope you'l forgive double posting.
I recently bought a Dell laptop which was vista upgradable. I had to =
downgrade the operating system to Windows XP Home edition - it =
originally came with Media Centre - as my standard version of Jaws would =
not work with Media Centre. I asked at the time if I could upgrade to =
Vista Premium and was told I could, but now when I check with Dell, as =
my machine has XP home edition loaded they will only upgrade to Vista =
Basic. I've complained frequently and today was told I would have to =
accept it. It appears also if I insist on going for Premium I can get no =
discount on the basis of a Basic upgrade. I'm looking for advice on my =
best way forward. Jaws now supports Premium and I wish to end up with =
this. Dell are suggesting that I take advantage of my Vista Basic =
upgrade for =A336 then purchase the Vista Premium upgrade from them at =
=A3155. I expect to pay quite a lot for the upgrade but this seems =
higher than expected.
What I wihs to know is:
if I wish o take advantage of Dell's structure on hard disk e.g. the go =
back facility, the system drivers, etc. - I will have o go with the Dell =
upgrade.=20
(I would prefer to do this as it works well.) Can I however upgrade to =
my allowed Vista Basic then buy a standard Premium upgrade and still =
keep these Dell features?
If I were to buy a standard Premium upgrade and overwrite the current XP =
Home would I still have access to the Dell structure?
Also if I were to go for my allowable upgrade package to Basic then buy =
Dell's upgrade from Basic to Premium would I be able just to bypass the =
Basic installation, go straight to Premium and input it's relevant codes =
and the basic codes for confirmation of purchase or would I have to go =
through the whole upgrade rigmarole?
Sorry for these question - clarity is necessary. I've spent a lot of =
time on the phone to Dell with little help. It seems that now I've =
bought my machine unless I fit in with their rules they're not =
interested - even in giving me information.
Thanks for any advice.
