I purchased 3 HP Laptops and as such received 3 Windows Vista Home Premium Express Upgrades. Want to upgrade 2 of the HP laptops to Vista. Can I use one of the Express Upgrades on a Dell with XP Pro as the current operating system? According to the Vista Upgrade Advisor my Dell can be upgraded, however, not sure if I can just use the Express upgrade I received from HP. Would appreciate some advice. Thanks so much.

No, the Vista disks contain "OEM" (Original Equipment Manufacturer) versions that only work on a particular make and model.
If you want Vista on the Dell, order it from them.
