Would there be any problem if I moved my iTunes folder to an external hard drive?

My iTunes folder is getting too big for my laptop's internal hard drive, so I bought an external hard drive (a WD My Book Elite - 1 TB). I'm thinking of going into My Computer and moving (NOT copying) my iTunes folder to the external hard drive. Will my iTunes still work that way? I don't want to lose my music.

There is a good video tutorial here:

It explains how you can use iTunes to copy the files so you will have the correct library locations. Once you have copied them correctly you can delete them from your laptop.

What will happen if I upgrade from Vista Basic to Vista Ultimate?

I am planning to upgrade to vista ultimate to take advantage of the windows media center. Is there any way to get the media center without the upgrade and will my external hard drive need to be reformatted causing me to lose everything once i upgrade???? Any help will be much appreciated. My computer is a Toshiba Tecra A6 with an Intel Duo Processor 1.83 GHz 1022 Mb RAM and a 32 bit operating system. Thanks for your help

Answer
Hey Zack-
The only way to get Windows Media Center is through Vista Home Pemium or Vista Ultimate- it is not available as a stand-alone download. Here is an article outlining some of the cool features you can take advantage of with Windows Media Center: http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/turn-your-windows-pc-into-a-media-center-powerhouse-on-the-cheap-298408.php

Be sure to backup your data so that in the infrequent case something does go wrong you will still have your data available.
