Re: Install Vista Business 64 on machine with Vista Home Premium 64 on it

No you cannot upgrade, as Home Premium to Business Edition is not considered an upgrade. And yes, when you install the Business Edition you will lose all the consumer features of Vista Home Premium.

I have a machine that came with Vista Home Premium 64 on it. Can I
upgrade using my new copy of Vista Business 64?

Will I lose the "Home" features that came with Home Premium?

TIA
