What is the cost of the upgrade Home Premium 7 - just bought - 7 Professional?

Recently I bought Windows 7 Home Premium downloaded and installed. Now I find that it is not compatible with my previous programs XP, documents and to find that I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I would do it by paying the difference between these two programs and not the new price of Windows 7 Professional. Is this possible?

Have you tried running in compatibility mode programs or reinstall them in compatibility mode?

  • the Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate upgrade error

    I need to upgrade a laptop Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate to connect to a network of MS Server 2008. Home Premium runs on SP2 and I bought an upgrade ultimate retail package which has Ultimate SP1. When I go to install an update (I don't want to erase the old files and OS), I get the following error "upgrade cannot be started, cancel the installation and choose to upgrade to a version of Windows that is newer than the version you are currently using." Roll back the version Home Premium SP1 will allow me to upgrade to Ultimate, or is there something else that needs to be done? Thank you.

    That should do it.

    Here's the General information about your problem:

    On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

    "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

    If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 upgrade disk > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

    And run the upgrade of a Vista operating system.

    See you soon.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - what is - this OA in the license tag? Is it possible to install the OS [Home premium] 64-bit with the same key?

    1 What is OA in the license tag
    2. is it possible to install the OS [Home premium] 64-bit with the same key.

    Hi adil13,

    Adding to reply TrekDozer,

    1 original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Activation is also known under the name of OA. It's basically OEM activation of basic input/output system (BIOS) - which means that they have already activated and you don't need to enter the key and activate yourself.

    2. you will only be able to activate a copy of Windows 7 with the number of product key used for 64-bit or 32-bit version at the same time, not both. It will allow only a copy installed with him to be activated. If you try to do it on both versions 32/64-bit, you will probably get the message that your product key is already in use or The Windows 7 product key you typed is invalid for activation .

    I hope this helps!

    Kind regards

  • The preinstalled upgrade Home premium 64 - bit windows 7 on my laptop for a 64 - bit windows 7 ultimate on my laptop version.

    I brought a home premium pre-installed 64 - bit windows 7 on my laptop and I want to know if I can download and update/install a 64 bit version of windows 7 ultimate on my laptop with no problems. As I have I need to just 60 days then uninstall the ultimate version and revert to the version Home premium. Please note that the Home Edition premium was preinstalled on my computer when I brought.

    I would not replace the preinstallation of Windows 7 Home Premium, but what you could do is to download and to make a dual boot using the Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day trial which is equivalent to the Ultimate edition.

    Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day trial - select Pro when asked for your history:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx

    Please see the following article with useful information about dual-boot:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/can-I-have-more-than-one-operating-system-on-my-computer-multiboot

    Yet once, do not replace your Home Premium installation, dual boot. This will allow you to remove it once the 60 days are up.

    Also back up your computer before you attempt this:

    My HD crashed, so I bought a new one.  How can I reload the Vista Home premium OS that was on the old HD?

    Hello TomNeumeyer,

    Your computer initially comes preinstalled with Windows Vista HP on this subject, the manufacturer?  If so, you will need to contact them to get an installation disc.  If you have a Setup for Windows Vista HP disk and a product key, simply insert the DVD and start the installation.
