    Okay thanks for the help. I'm tempted to try but I also have feeling it will reject the upgrade.

    What about this idea. What if I swap the drive and then install Vista Business on the new drive with the old product key. Then I will upgrade Vista to 10.

    You can't upgrade Vista to Windows 10. Only Windows 7, 8, 8, 8.1 or 10.
