upgrade vista x64 from OEM home to ultimate from MSDN Subscription

Retail and OEM disks have all versions: basic, home premium, etc, on the disks.
It is the Product Key when you install, that says what version gets installed.
I have had nothing to do with MSDN.

Vista is not like XP, where each disk held the particular version.

But the vista disks are either 32bit or 64bit, not both.
 
True. And it is not possible to get an MSDN disk that only holds one of the
versions, so the multiple versions on the same disk are not the reason that I
cannot upgrade my OS.
 
I have successfully upgraded doing a clean install and recovering drivers
from the manufacturers website. Apparently, I void my warrenty in so doing,
but... Oh well. Thanks for your help you guys!
