• Trying to Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Professional. It forces me to turn on the system restore, but I don't want to. How can I proceed?

  Just got a new Dell laptop. Have restored to factory settings again. I am trying to upgrade to Win 7 home premium to win 7 professional. The first time I did it, it took place without a hitch. But this second everyone, it won't continue unless I turn on system restore. But from what I've read in the dialog box, if I turn on system restore, I fear he would write on the factory saved settings. And I don't want to do that. I guess the economies of the plant are in the "Recovery" folder that is separate from the C drive.

  Turn on system restore, if necessary replace the factory settings in the folder "recovery"? Thanks for the help.

  Yes. The purchase of the update comes with 90 days of free support from Microsoft. The 90 day period starts when Windows 8 installation and activation is complete. Note: telecom or other access rights may apply.

• Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  Hi!, I need help.  I tried to understand the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 but I have not been able to fully understand the various issues.  My dilemma is this. I have a House runing PC with Windows Vista Home Premium and I want to install a version of Windows 7 Professional.  The package I have indicates whether an upgrade, but when playing in the homepage of Microsofts, in my view, that I understand that to switch from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I need to do a full install, not an upgrade.  Because my package bed upgrade, I don't know if it contains the program needed to make an installation full or not.  I don't want to start and install and find out in the middle that I don't have the good disk to complete the task.  Could someone who knows about it could give me the right path to follow. I will be very greatfull for any guidance. Thank you.

  See this simplified table of upgrade: http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/windows-upgrade-chart-eb-remake-final3.png?tag=col1;post-1246

  Vista Home Premium upgrade to Win7 professional will require one in Place (i.e., update Win7 Home Premium) and an Express Upgrade (from Win7 Home Premium to Win7 professional).

  That said, Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

• Vista Home premium to windows 7 Professional

  I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium on it. I want to upgrade to Win7 Pro. Is this possible? When you try to pass through the upgrade online, it says I can only switch to Win7 Home Premium or Ultimate, not Pro. I do not understand why this would be the case, I bought the version Pro and technicians at Best Buy retail say there is no problem, but I don't want to open the box for fear that I won't be able to return if the upgrade will not take. Help, please!

  Thank you

  Windows Vista Home Premium is a qualifying product to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, but you cannot do directly in place upgrade from Vista Home Premium to professional. You must back up your personal files and settings and be prepared to reinstall all your applications.

This is the best option to keep your personal and your settings and applications files installed.

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

• The Windows Home Premium OEM for Windows Professional upgrade

  Normally, I go with the professional version of Windows.  After checking the differences between Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and professional, it appeared the only features I'd lose with Home Premium vs professional would be Bitlocker XP compatibility and the ability to join a domain.  I installed Home Premium 64 bit and it works fine.

  I recently updated my Acronis True Image backup software for the 2011 version.  This software is not particularly concerned for Windows 7 and it really don't like NAS devices.  A backup of maybe 10 gig of the NAS can take a day, if it is completed, and restores files are not reliable.  I decided sync critical files to the NAS to a local drive, where they could be saved easily.

  After much pulling hair I have determined that the file sync feature is missing in the Home Premium, as confirmed in several forums, including this one.  The lack of this feature is not mentioned in most graphic comparison of Microsoft, including a detailed version comparison matrix I found on this forum.

  Sync Center option is present in the Home Premium version, however, it does not allow the implementation of a "sync partnership.  It won't let me map a network drive, my local machine, but I already did.  lt is a version update is in order.

  It seems not be a cost-effective way for the owner of OEM upgrade to professional or ultimate edition.  Anyone with a computer bought in a retail store or a system integrator, likely an OEM license.  Him 'anytime upgrade' professional costs $90 while the ultimate load of $140.

  It's quite a chunk of change, especially for a story that should have been there all along and the absence of which is never mentioned by Microsoft.  I paid $110 for Home Premium OEM.  The Professional OEM version would cost $149.  If I had to do the upgrade anytime I would have to pay almost what I paid for the operating system and I will be stuck with an OEM version that cannot be moved to another system.

  Microsoft has a method to upgrade from OEM versions at a reasonable cost?  If I buy the $90 total time to upgrade that will the license be moved to another system if it loses their motherboard?

  Just to clarify, Bitlocker is available only in the enterprise and Ultimate editions.

  Not available in home edition Premium Windows 7 Professional features:

  -Domain join

  -Remote Desktop

  -Network backup

  -Encryption of system folders

  -Group Policy

  -Support up to 192 GB of RAM (64-bit version only)

  -Peer to peer support for up to 10 machines

  Microsoft has a method to upgrade from OEM versions at a reasonable cost?

  You have almost used up all available channels. The most effective being Anytime Upgrade.

  If I buy the $90 total time to upgrade that will the license be moved to another system if it loses their motherboard?

  You can transfer the license to another computer running Home Premium, but you can't move your OEM Home Premium license.

• Cannot switch to WIN7 Home Premium to WIN7 Professional

  All trying to solve a problem with Windows Update will not download updates, I fear that a cleaner spyware I used at the time, this problem occurred firstly has deleted some registry information (and I thought that that may have caused problems with Windows Update), so I decided to try upgrading my Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).  I have the DVD upgrade, because a year or two ago I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 from Windows XP.  When this desktop computer began to die a slow death, I uninstalled Windows of the player and the computer put on the scrap heap.  With this update has been successfully uninstalled, I thought that I could use it to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM came on my laptop which I use exclusively now), but when I tried, installing told me I could do only either a "custom installation" that would have wiped out any and all other programs and files on the laptop , or use the Express upgrade.  When I tried the Express upgrade, he initially asked me my product key I then typed in and validity verified, began the upgrade process and then told me that he could not put to Home Premium upgrade to the professional version, even if also seem to indicate that he might.  Maybe that's a problem with my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD that was used before and the product key being somehow in the system as "being used?"  If so, what are my options?

  The upgrade

  I upgraded from 7 Home Premium 64 - bit-7 Professional 64-bit, then had to wipe the HARD drive and reinstall Home Premium on my drive. Can I upgrade again Professional without having to pay twice? Should I have saved a code which would have been given or my license will be recognized by the system as soon as I try to upgrade again?

• 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!

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

  I'll buy the Toshiba Satellite U500-1F4 with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit that can be retrieved using Toshiba-HDD recovery.

  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?

• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

• I can install Windows 7 Home Premium if I have XP Professional on my computer

  I upgraded my Toshiba laptop which had Vista Home Premium, Win 7 Home Premium.  Now, I want to install Win 7 Home Premium on my desktop that currently runs Windows XP Professional.  There will be problems with this Setup?

  You don't mention the model Dell and model number. There may be technical specifications to run Windows 7, but it still might not be perfectly for him.

  Assuming it's a go, you should be able to perform a clean install of Windows 7 on it with no problems. Have you backed up all your data again? It is always important!
