Dell Vostro OS

pedroj

Really wanna get the Dell vosta 1700 but would prefer to get it with Windows ultimate or home prem does anyone know if you ring them up can they do this for you or is it a compatibility issue with the 1700 range??

It wouldn't be a compatibility issue that's for sure. I think the vostro range is aimed at businesses and hence why it comes with the business edition. I can't see why they wouldn't upgrade it if you asked.

I have the 1500 and I got Vista Ultimate - very nice...I will have a look around and see can I find you anything that might help

I have a Vostro 1000 and I put ultimate on it, works very well.

I rang up about that very same issue, there is no way you can purchase a Vostro 1700 with Windows Ultimate... The guy on phone was surprised when he saw that, he didn't know why but he thinks it may be some compatibility issue, he was gonna put me on hold to find out but i told him not to worry...

Settled on a Vostro 1500 instead... (with Ultimate)

Suppose it's such a good offer, it'll be worth the wait...

By the way, my boss got a 1400, it's a good looking laptop...
