I bought Vista Home Premium and loaded it on a new hard drive. What I failed to notice is Remote Desktop is not a feature of Home Premium. I need that feature which comes on Business and Ultimate editions. My Home edition is activated. Can I sell hard drive and all and be OK or will the software see it is on a different motherboard and squawk?
Thanks, tangot2 mail.com

You can upgrade to Ultimate to get the features you need or call Microsoft Customer Service and ask them what their policy for resale is. Your going to get a hundred different answers in here...the best bet would be to go right to the source by calling and asking yourself.
But my understanding is you can resale your original installation disk as long as you remove it from your computer, You do not need to sell the hard drive with the installation on it. But do not quote me on this

Dear Fred
Why not bite the bullet, and upgrade to Ultimate?

I performed such an upgrade Vista home -> Ultimate and it worked fine for me.
I would not contemplate upgrading XP > Vista, but I can see no logical reason why upgrading from one edition to another should cause a problem.
