Hello,
We have a network system at home not for business use (yet).
2 HP desktops, and 1 Hp laptop.
Can we change from W XP Home edition (we have the XP OS disk) to Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade (has 32 bit and 64 bit disk)?

The way I understand is upgrade is cheaper but you must have the OS XP disk, if no OS disk, must buy the full version, correct?

Fun fact #1: You can use the upgrade version of Win7 to install a "free" 30 day trial.

Fun fact #2: The "free" 30 day trial can be "upgraded" to the full version.
