I just bought Vista ultimate and I have Business and I was wanting to get ultimate on my comp , can i do this without formatting my comp? As I don't have a external hard drive.

Ohh... Should have come here to ask first. It can be done easily with anytime upgrade.

I will ask though how old your current install is? If it's not that old you *should* be able to get away with using your Ultimate disk and running the upgrade option. If it's older than a year I'd probably back up your data (using DVDs or CDs) and start over. A good start is good every 8-12 months. It's like spring cleaning.

Do you actually need any of the features Ultimate has that Business doesn't? Personally I don't think I would bother... and definitely not if you used the Pirate Bay for Ultimate when you have a perfectly legit copy of Business.

Also NB, RSBandB does not condone piracy. Remember that for in future.

You didn't buy it, and we don't condone piracy here.

Locked.
