- Then, you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) on the computer.
- Then, you try to upgrade to a version of Windows Vista that has additional features. For example, you try to upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate.
- To perform the upgrade, you use Windows Vista media that does not contain the updates that are included in Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
The upgrade cannot be started.
Then, you receive the following error message:
To upgrade, cancel the installation and then choose to upgrade to a version of windows that is more recent than the version you are currently running.
