This is a pretty basic question sorry but I've looked in the 'related questions' and couldn't find an answer.
When Windows 7 came out I bought a copy of Home Premium, the retail box with both 32 and 64 bit versions, to install via Boot Camp on my macbook. I've just got a retail (32 and 64 bit) copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that I'd like to install instead-of/over the Home Premium version and it struck me that I should, at least in principal be able to install the Home Premium version on my son's machine - is this the case and if so is there anything I should do first or once they're installed to let MS know I'm being a good guy about this?
Sorry it's such a dim question but I'm a serverfault guy really and know very little about Windows. Thanks.
