Cannot use Windows Anytime upgrade Windows 7 family premium - product not available

I'm trying to upgrade a computer Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro. When I tried the Windows Anytime Upgrade (launched from the System Properties dialog box) I got an error that says that the product was unavailable (or something like that). I had put in which to purchase, contact and payment information, and then when I went to submit the order I got the message saying something to the effect that the product was not available.

Is this true, is there no way to use this tool to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro?

Thanks for your help.

Online purchase of Microsoft is no longer available.

Also given that Microsoft remove Windows 7 sales prices soared $$$

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    Both the Dell recovery disk and partition recovery integrated automatically reformat the hard drive and return the machine to its original state of delivery (at least in theory) - should all have integrated the manufacturer key and requires no key when installing, please write. The integrated partition is probably the best to use in a first time - this is the fastest and less hassle.

    Remember to backup ALL your data to external storage first, as with will wipe away the C: partition and can erase any other partition on the hard drive as well.

    The system is designed for scoped him key to the manufacturer, given three things

    -in your case this system is broken somehow, perhaps following an attack of malware, or a faulty program or "accidental damage" of the software. The key and SLIC table is still OK, but somewhere the ability of the operating system to properly access licenses collapsed - either licenses are missing (unlikely) or the registry has been damaged so that the OS is looking in the wrong place, the wrong information or (or looking at all!).
