  OEM of Windows 7 versions can be upgraded to higher using either an upgrade of Windows 7 at retail, the full version or the upgrade key Express.

  If you have such as key for Windows 7 Home Premium, you can use the upgrade wizard level Express in basic home edition to upgrade to the home edition Basic. If the Home Premium key is OEM, then you can not use it.

  First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option to enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Home Premium, when asked, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium files the stored settings and programs.

• Windows anytime upgrade, the product key is not valid

  My laptop is with pre installed Windows7 professional edition, and I have a new product key WAU (Home premium-> NEC) in hand. When I tried this product key in the Express Windows upgrade process, I received a message "product key is not valid.

  Is the installed version must be exactly the same with the WAU product key pack? I think of my installed Professional is an advanced version of Home Premium. Why not the product key be compatible?

  Any contribution is appreciated!

• I can't move my laptop Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional by using Windows Anytime Upgrade

  I have been unable to upgrade my laptop Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional by using Windows Anytime Upgrade. I have a genuine Windows 7 Professional product key, but I'm not sure whether it is an OEM version or retail. The product key works for the x 86 and x 64 editions? I do the upgrade using the disc?

  Yes, this works for 32 and 64-bit architectures as long as they are the same edition.

  Please note that the Express upgrade does not support OEM, MSDN-Academic, Volume (the student faculty licenses) license. If you are in possession of all these brackets, you will need to save and do a custom clean install. If you want to do it, please backup your Windows 7 Home Premium or according to edition currently installed. Some licenses for Windows distributed to tertiary level students are not perpetual, which means that you cannot continue to use the software after a course or graduating.

  Hello

  I try to use windows anytime upgrade to update my Windows Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional operating system. Everything works fine. The initial upgrade key valid without any problem, and a window pops up after about 30-40 seconds to say;

  WINDOWS UPGRADE, "launch the upgrade"...

  The upgrade may take as little as 10 minutes on... Your computer restarts automatically.

  After about 10 minutes a message ""Windows anytime upgrade was not sucsessful"- the upgrade wasn't sucssesful, please try the upgrade again."

  I tried this 6 times now with the same result every time. I can't find anywhere on the MS site where I can get help for this.

• Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for online purchase in my country

  Separated from this thread.

  I live in the United States and I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I went to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Windows Anytime Upgrade only to find out that it is no longer available for online purchase in my country or region.

  Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available, ended around October 2013. If you need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, you will need to purchase a retail upgrade or version license full, then use the product key with the Express Upgrade Assistant.

  Because retail licenses are rare and difficult to obtain, your only option may be Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, which cannot perform one installs clean.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• Windows anytime upgrade key does not work

  After trying to upgrade my OS Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I received the following message:

  
  
  "Enter a different upgrade key
  The upgrade key that you entered is for an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade.  Enter a different key. »
  
  
  Just to be sure, I tried upgrading several times, but got the same message.
  Due to manufacturing defects, my laptop had to be repaired three times.  The motherboard has been replaced twice, the hard drive has been replaced three times and the processor once.  In fact, just a year last month, it still does not properly.  I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade [upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Home Premium] at the same time that I buy my laptop. Each time, except this time, I got to spend my OS.
  The operating system on my laptop is now Windows 7 Home Premium [SP1]
  Another thing, I bought this laptop until I moved to the United States to Asia.  If this may have something to do with the problem that I am facing?

  I would be grateful for your help.
