Ok, so I have installed a copy of VS2010 Professional but suppose I want to get Ultimate or even Premium. How would I install it such that it upgrades rather than a new program?

As far as I know there is no way to upgrade Visual Studio editions.
However, I was in same situation and uninstalling one version and installing another works without problems if you remember to save your settings (Tools -> Import and Export Settings).

Yeah, it's easier to just jump to Ultimate and don't install the features that you won't use, instead of doing the upgrade dance... Apr 14, 2010 at 0:58

@Joe This is purely matter of cost. I assume that he wants Professional since it is cheaper and he is only thinking about getting Ultimate if he really needs it. Apr 14, 2010 at 7:06

I figured he was using MSDN or Microsoft's student program, where you have the option to download any version. Apr 14, 2010 at 21:21
