A while ago I was given a German Windows Vista Ultimate (both 64bit and 32bit on separate disks) during a Micosoft promotion event. Now I am not sure what kind of version I got here (maybe you can help me out). On the disks is written that it includes Windows Anytime Upgrade and that I is not allowed to resell it. There is also an item number on the disk: X12-73442-01 (64bit) and X12-73358 (32bit).

Would I be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate with this? If so how much would it most likely cost me?

Yes you will be able to use your previous version of Windows Vista to perform an upgrade install of Windows 7. For more assistance with this process Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams.

Also, you can pre-order your copy of Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional today. For more information, see the Windows 7 Pre-Order offer page here: Windows 7 Pre-Order Also, if you are currently a student you may qualify for the $30 upgrade to Windows 7. For more information, please go here: Windows 7 Upgrade

From Run (Start > run), run winver. It should tell you what version of Windows you are running. Using that information and the chart below, you should be able to determine your releveant upgrade path
