Computer came with windows vista basic 12months ago,just purchased upgrade
copy of vista home premium with service pack 1.Downloaded upgrade advisor and
only issue there is a new video card.My trouble is when it comes up with
which type of installation do you want?It says upgrade has been disabled and
I need to install service pack 1,and microsoft doesn't recommend installing
on just one pc and I don't really want to do a clean install,that's why I
bought the upgrade copy.Can anyone help me,I really don't know where to
start.I'm only a novice.

never mind that just one pc garbage, just install it and then do the
upgrade.
