Bootcamp with academic upgrade possible?

[suspect9]

Hello All

I can get a copy of vista home premium academic upgrade with sp1. Is is possible to run bootcamp of this version? (I assume you can not)

Thanks

Is it a full install or just an upgrade? The latter will not work, but the former will.

Needs to be a full copy. You will have to first install a full copy of Windows and once that is up and running fully, you can then pop in that upgrade disk and use it..

I have some strange things about the academic upgrade. You can do a fresh install of vista as a 'trial'. Then you install the upgrade on the disc (basically install twice using difference methods).

You do this at your own risk. This could be considered a breach of Microsoft's EULA. An upgrade is just that, means you already have a legal copy of Windows installed and are upgrading (at the cheaper price for the upgrade disk) from the previous version.

Not trying to be a jerk, just letting you know what you are doing could be considered illegal. Of course I am sure this will be debated.. (just foreshadowing)
