Upgrade options

A couple of questions here...


1) I purchased 2 new Dells for a small business my wife is opening. The software that we are running is not Vista ready, and franlky I wouldn't install it there this early anyways...HOWEVER, I do have a computer at home that I would like to put Vista on. The questions is, even tho the Dell I have at home is not the PC that qualifies for the upgrade, will I be able to use it?


2) We are running XP pro in the store, but XP home at the house. The upgrade versions we are getting are the Vista Business. Will I be able to change these Vista Business versions to Vista Home Premium? I belive that VHP is less $$ that VB.


Thanks for the input/advice/info

    It should work even though it is not in keeping with the terms of the EULA, if the PC you are installing it onis a Dell PC. If Dell ties it to the BIOS Tattoo as they have in the past.

    Thanks for the response...but after hearing what I have aboout:
     
    A) The time it takes to
    1. Get on the Dell Vista Upgrade site
    2. Get thru to someone from Dell on the phone
    3. Get Vista delivered

    B) The way Vista performs

    C) The aggravation peeps are going thru

    ...I am going to hold off on upgrading to Vista for a while.
