• W7 is accepted, but the upgrade fails

  I run W7 home Premium that came pre-installed on my laptop. I wanted to move to W7 Pro. Anytime online update doesn't let me do this based on the restrictions of the place, somehow. He suggested that I buy a key from a retailer instead, as I did.

  Now, I entered this key in the update of any time and it seems that he had accepted the key, that I can forward to accept the license terms and then it starts to do his work, say how it will take about 10 minutes, etc.., but not for long. I don't know if I still get the same error message now, compared to when I tried to update the first time, but now, he said something to the effect of (this is a German Windows):

  Enter the different product key

  The Enter key is designed for a version of Windows that is compatible with the upgrade Express (sic!). Enter the different upgrade key.

  Now I checked my key with a key verification tool and it makes the new key account I had entered the Pro upgrade and it seems, so I'm stuck with a system on the new key, but will not perform the upgrade.

  What should do?

• Failure of Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade on the new computer laptop

  Hello

  We just bought a new Asus laptop that came with Windows 7 Starter as standard.

  A week later, we bought an Express Upgrade Home Premium 7.

  The upgrade has failed at first time around; following the advice of the community, I tried the following:

  Check all updates;

  Installed the CheckSUR tool fix;

  Disabled user account control;

  Disabled antivirus;

  The hard drive to find errors;

  Profiled selective startup in MSConfig.

  In the end, I got was a "invalid product key" - which it is not.

  Windows displays as entered, and I have SP1.

  As a last resort, I have reset the specifications of the factory and tried the Express upgrade as the first thing on the PC 'cost '. Upgrade failed after 25 minutes.

  In the very final resort, I reset all the solutions above workaround to the specifications of the factory again, re-directed (except by disabling the antivirus because I have not reinstalled which again - there is only Windows Firewall between me and the world wide). Update failed.

  I just tried to disable the Windows Firewall and tried the upgrade - my product key verified program, was asked to accept the terms, told me it would be as little as 10 minutes - but now it's to say the upgrade button that I entered is a version of Windows that does not work with the Express upgrade... but it IS an Express upgrade.

  It took nine days so far - please you have the magic answer? Thank you waiting...!

  You have already done most of what I have posted, but it can't hurt to read and review as it is possible that you missed.

• Said Dell Inspiron 7537 is tested on Windows 10 but the upgrade fails - black screen

  Hello all, Hello support,

  Dell Backup software and restore proposed to me that I have upgraded to Windows 10. I like this idea.

  I checked my ultrabook on the DELL Web site. Inspiron 7537 is tested (proudly said Dell) so I should be able to update my OS without flaw.

  I did 2 upgrade to Windows 10 attempts, both failed in the same way.

  It passes through several stages, but at some point, a black screen stuck and only power OFF button turns the laptop computer do something (disable). In the two attempts after 2 restarts, the installation process is back from my Windows 8.1 operating system

  Why DELL say it is tested and I can't upgrade - turns-does not work.

  I have not contacted the DELL forums on this subject (because the DELL technical support in my country told me it is Microsoft Business) If IT WAS NOT for THE FACT that DELL 'advertising' me Windows 10 and claims my laptop is ready to do the upgrade.

  Please help and explain.

  Thank you in advance.

  Martin
