• Upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional by using the OEM System Builder Pack

  I built a computer and initially installed Windows 7 Home Premium using an OEM System Builder Pack. Now, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I have a new OEM System Builder Pack for Windows 7 Professional. How can I do this without losing the files, data, documents, etc., and I can put this copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on another computer? It is a personal computer only. Thank you.

  Unfortunately, you will need to do an install custom, which means that your applications and drivers will need to be reinstalled.

  If you want to keep your personal files, you can use the custom installation of the configuration to do:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  I bought a Vista 32 bit Home Premium OEM system builder pack just now when I built my computer and I was wandering how to do media upgrade to 64 - bit.

  32-bit to 64-bit is not an upgrade path.

  Buy a FULL version of the operating system 64-bit Vista disk/license and clean install.

  Try your local computer, or online store: amazon, newegg, etc.

  When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

  Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.

• Is it legal to use the Edition to windows 7 Home premium, System Builder for my own personal use in computer I'm building?

  Title says it all... I am doing only this one computer for me to use... I love Windows 7, do not want to move to 8, and Amazon sells only the System Builder of the present version.
