Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 20083 OS's to upgrade to Vista Period
I tried to use my Vista Ultimate and bypassed the numbers and it would not let me into the OS, says I have to have an OS to upgrade. Microsoft techies said yes I have to install Win2000 then XP upgrade then Vista. Now I have to wipe my partition clean using a third party software and install 3 OS's, does that suck or what. You should have purchased a full license of Vista.

A Google search will reveal an unsupported method of installing the Vista upgrade on a clean hard drive, or you can install the XP upgrade first, it will ask you to provide your Win2k disk during installation to verify, no need to actually install 2k before hand.
