• Click Windows Anytime Upgrade, then click on enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. What do I do?

  As indicated in the question, I bought an anytime upgrade in store today. I use a 32-bit version of Vista. The pack did not come with a cisd, but that a cd key with instructions to enter the Windows Anytime Upgrade, and then select enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. The only option that IS there is 'compare the editions of Windows Vista.

  My question. What now? I got back and beg you to take this if I buy a new kit of Windows 7 at home, or what I ultimately throw it and waste $130 and buy another back pack?

  Hello

  1. from which store did you purchase Anytime Upgrade?

  Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for Windows Vista. See this.

  If you're running Windows Vista and want to upgrade your PC, go online to upgrade to Windows 7.

  I would recommend that you contact Microsoft (if purchased from a legitimate source) Store with your concern.

• I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but the software will not be installed.

  Help... I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade on Microsoft Office software to my Vista laptop, but the software will not be installed. Operation message is not supported on this platform. How to get around the facility? I have the product key number, but can not get so far to enter.

  I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.

  I suggest that you return to the Microsoft Store site and use the contact methods to discuss your problem with an agent.
