I don’t know. I’m still waiting for the answer to that question, but I believe it will work as it does with Windows Vista. Q: It seems like people who spent extra on Windows Vista Ultimate should be rewarded in some way, since that product never lived up o Microsoft’s promises. Why is there no promotional pricing on Windows 7 Ultimate, especially for Vista Ultimate users? A: I don’t know. (And I agree with you.) Q: I have Windows Vista Home Premium. Do I have to get Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade, or can I purchase any Windows 7 Upgrade version? A: As long as you qualify for Upgrade pricing (i.e. have basically any version of Windows XP or Vista), you can purchase and install any Windows 7 Upgrade version. However, you may or may not be able to perform an in-place upgrade depending on your current Windows version. A person with Windows Vista Ultimate, for example, qualifies for Windows 7 Home Premium. But they would have to perform a clean install.
