This is a technical forum. If the OP had no knowledge and followed some of the advice given here, her would be crying into his beer when the time came to install.
Less to do with being grumpy and more to do with the OP being given continued wrong advice.

There has been no wrong advice given. I'm MS Certified and did the Win7 training. Windows Vista Home Premium can be upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium as an in-place upgrade - I've done it on two of my own.

And there is no reason why it shouldn't be compatible with the Pro version - the main differences being the ability to join a corporate domain.

The OP stated in his third post;

i just want to do an in place install and not a custom install

So any continued advice to get Windows 7 Professional is just erroneous.

You may have also noticed that Windows 7 Home Premium is simply not available as an option for students. Only Professional or Ultimate, with Ultimate being the only suitable upgrade option.
