A. Once you have a VHD mounted as a drive letter, you can check the editions you can upgrade it to using the /Get-TargetEditions switch of DISM. (See this FAQ for help mounting a VHD.) The VHD I'm checking is running Windows 7 Home Premium. As you can see, it shows I can update it to Ultimate or Professional.
