I got The upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium so i can install on my XP Professional. I pop it in and it tells me i cant upgrade to Premium because XP is the Pro edition. And now I cant take it back to the store. The thing that pissed me off was that the box never told me this or the store. Im screwed. Is there any other way to put Vista on my computer?

You will be able to do a clean install, but you will not be able to keep your files and settings. You will have to save them to an external source (disks or a hard drive) and put them back on when you have installed Vista.
