Reinstall or Upgrade Vista?

Hi all, I am basically having problems with my Vista. It is Windows
Vista Home Premium SP1. So, I was thinking to either re-install it
(which I do not have the DVD and need to buy it) or do a Windows
Business upgrade which is cheaper. Can someone help me or give
suggestions?

P.S.: How will the upgrade be like? I mean, does it store your Windows
files or delete them and create new ones?

Hi,

An upgrade implies carrying over software, user accounts, and settings. Such
is the case when upgrading one Vista edition to another. However, Home
Premium to Business is not a supported path, you'd have to go to Ultimate.

Why don't you have a disk? Preinstalled? Have you checked with the
manufacturer for reinstallation instructions?

There should be a 2nd Partition on your Hard Drive, which is the Recovery
Partition to take it back to factory standards, if they did not give you a
DVD for Recovery.

Have a look through any manual that came with your computer, or check out
their website for info on how to for the reinstallation, email them or phone
them.
