• Satellite U500-1F4 - upgrade in Windows 7 Home Premium to professional?

  I can upgrade these BONES using WAU Home Premium to Professional 7 Windows, or should I buy Windows 7 professional full and install it?

  Hey mate,

  You can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade program, that s no problem and it makes no difference if you use this tool or a full version of Windows 7 Professional. The result is always the same => an upgrade to Home Premium to professional.

  Theoretically, you can make a completely new installation if you buy a copy of Windows 7 Professional, but I n t see a reason for this. An upgrade also works.

  But the question is: do you need the features they are provided with the professional version?

• Ultimate from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium or professional clean to install the new SSD

  I put my turn to level. It came with Vista Ultimate. I bought an SSD that will become my c drive. I want to do a clean installation in each Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional 64 bit on this player.  My drive/d has a backup of the Vista operating system. My drive is resumed. Do I have to buy a new copy of version single charge? If so, how will I know the source of what I buy sells an authentic copy or download? If not, what are the steps I need to take to upgrade? There is a number on the back of the workstation that would allow me to do it with the new drive installed? I don't want to have non-essential files on the SSD.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  If you choose to buy the upgraded version:

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

When I enter the Anytime Upgrade to professional product key it is rejected with code 0x8007000D (these data are incorrect).
  I've searched high and low. How can this problem be solved?
  Thank you

  Do a upgrade Express from Home Premium to professional would have required that you enter the product key Windows 7 Professional before. So, if you are running Windows 7 Professional now based on operating an Express upgrade, the license must already be enabled, or you can use the activation option, see the following:

  Activate Windows 7 on this computer:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/activate-Windows-7-on-this-computer

  Basically no one no need to enter the key of product again.

• The benefits of the Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional Upgrade will be lost to the new Windows 8 Upgrade?

  I ordered the 7 Home Premium to Professional Upgrade when I ordered my new HP computer, I picked up today. (for which I paid $65,00)
  It also suggested me the upgrade of Windows 8 when it comes out @ 15.00.
  If I lose all the benefits of the first upgrade to install Windows 8, I want to go back to the first upgrade unopened.
  They allow only a few days to do this.
  Thanks for your help

  The base provided with your computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) license will already be a license of qualification. An Express (Windows 7 Home Premium to professional) upgrade may not be an eligible license because its an upgrade. To use the Windows Pro 8 upgrade, the base provided with the computer license will be it.

  So, Yes, you could return the Anytime Upgrade If you wish.

• Cannot upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to professional

  I just bought a Satellite L650-1MC and a nice little machine it's too! Tracks of Home Premium 64-bit. I must have professional because I use this machine for work and the first three elements of the software tried to install... easy to store. So far, on XP Pro 32-bit so I want virtual XP on my computer = must have 7 Pro.

  So bought a key of the Microsoft UK (£120!) store and tried to upgrade using Windows Anytime Upgrade (was provided by the text of the presentation it would be... on child's play in 10 minutes!) ... but I can't get anywhere I get the following message... «Enter a different upgrade key - upgrade key you have entered is for an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade...» "to intervene here, then why the hell Microsoft sell me! " ... Enter a different upgrade key".

  I know that I am naïve enough, but would be grateful for any help!

  Thank you very much

  Lindsay

  Well, I'm embarrassed to admit I rather "jumped the gun" on this one... having written and published to my request, I thought I'd see if this would help... it did! Turns out that I am now successfully upgraded to Pro.

  Sorry if I wasted all the time and... If you are having a similar problem... I recommend that go you for a reboot before panicking... like me!
