O.P. Upgrading to Vista
Hi, I was wondering if anybody knows if I would be able to upgrade a PIRATED version of Windows XP Home Edition v.2002, SP2 to Windows Vista Home Basic.

Thanks,
David.

You might consider this offtopic, but I'm curious. Are you upgrading to a pirated version of Vista too, or did you actually buy it?

I thought Vista Upgrade editions did check to ensure XP had a valid and activated product key?

I haven't bought it yet man, and I can't get Vista Pirated coz no-one will give it to me and I can't download it coz my nets crap.

And the reason why I want Home Basic is coz it uses up way less hard drive space.
