Windows 7 home upgrade to windows 7 pro says that's not available?

I can't use my anytime upgrade windows 7 home to windows 7 pro, I said that's not available.

What can I do to upgrade to windows pro

Microsoft sales ended for Anytime Upgrade and licensing of retail in October 2013. Otherwise, your only way to upgrade is by purchasing the retail full version or upgrade Windows 7 Professional license and use it with the wizard upgrade Express Windows 7 home Basique/Familiale Premium. I just checked amazon.com and all the licenses that I see are copies OEM System Builder:

http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

This means the boxed retail 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 can get a copy of a retail license, you can do the following:

If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. 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 enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, 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 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

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.

    The type of key and partial media product indicates that you have used a reinstall drive (or other media) that was produced by Dell for a Dell computer.  Your motherboard reports himself can be made by Gigabyte Technology, (which would not arise a Dell system).  The BIOS does not have the required for activation OEM SLIC input.

    You must change the key non - SLP product key, as in a detail (product complete package), selling retail or OEM system builder version of Windows 7 upgrade.  for example the COA/sticky label that came with the computer or the installation media of Windows 7 and then try to activate online or by phone.

    If you used a modded BIOS of third party who attempted to add the string SLIC 2.1 for a motherboard that is not made by a royalty OEM (which Microsoft believes that a form of hacking), then the BIOS mod has not done correctly.

  • After plugging in a closed to a new laptop HDD, a window pops up saying: "F: / is not available." Access denied. " Is there a way to solve this problem, or am I out of luck?

    On my last laptop, I got a virus that has corrupted my OS files (Windows XP). I was using a version of Linux to run it, and then I crashed my AC adaptor port, making it essentially useless computer. I now have a 'new' laptop (for about a year now) that works under Windows 7.

    I took possession of files but also address options for sharing and security in my username and I am the administrator.

    The only option I've heard that I have not tried is a command prompt. I'm not familiar with this system, so if there is anything else I can do, I would rather try everything first. If not, I'll settle for anything at this point.

    Thanks a lot for all the suggestions.

    Hello

    You can follow the steps mentioned below in order to resolve the error.

    Method 1:

    Note: Check with the different ports on the computer to reproduce the problem.

    If you use a USB hub, try connecting the USB key directly and check.

    Step 1:

    Tips for solving problems of USB devices

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/tips-for-solving-problems-with-USB-devices

    (Applies to Windows 7)

    Refer,

    Install a USB device

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/install-a-USB-device

     

    Step 2: Check if you have any restrictions for the use of a USB key in the registry and fix them.

    Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    e. type '4' in the field 'value data '.

    f. click OK and then close the registry editor.

    g. re, insert the USB key and check.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

  • Remove the Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue. He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.

    Hello

    The best way is to clean install and start over.

    In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

    If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.

    See you soon.

  • Help check out MGADiag, bought the new retail version of Windows 7 Pro, but he does not accept the activation key.

    Hello

    I just build a new complete PC and decides to get Windows 7 Pro for it. It cost me £179 on amazon from a seller who has good reviews.

    All looks well and many of such security features mentioned on this site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/software.aspx#packaging

    Are in place (change holograms that you change the view, etc.). However when I enter the product key, I get this message:

    "Code:

    0xC004C008

    Description:

    The activation server determined that the specified product key cannot be used. »

    I tried to go there several times, checking the caps lock etc.. The version says ' origin: Ireland ' on the insignia case of authenticity and the seller told me that before I bought it and it would work as a version of the United Kingdom's retail. The additional complication is I am currently based in France (where I tried to activate it since), but as an English speaker needed an English language version of Windows.

    I have run the MGADiag.exe and this is the output:

    I so I spent £179 on a version false? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    A little update just for your information. 2 days and 5 calls later (I needed to technical management, through the population of Activation - no direct number so sometimes the transferred call didn't work!) I now have a version of Windows active :) work

    However the question turns out to be that my legitimate version (package and all disks of good mine) and it's legitimate keys used did not match exactly.

    The unused key was for a version of Windows 7 Edition product update Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro, so that's why it did not work on the new facility I was trying.

    I contacted the seller amazon to let them know about this problem as it is possible that there is a lot that is perhaps not entirely legitimate.

    Once again thanks to the MVP here and people I talked on the phone before this is resolved, I suspect that this could become a problem growing with Windows 7, as people are not super keen on 8 and 7 is a solid BONE with a little support left? So even if you pay a rate of 'good' for your Windows 7 disks, be aware that you can not get exactly what you expected, and maybe it would be nice if MS has always sold direct to counter this kind of question?

    Thanks again to both for your advice, MVP

    Yours sincerely,

    Zak.

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

    You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (stores the history of update).

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    

    Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Please wait while Windows configures FAX"... this process stops and I get another message that says:"the component you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available. "

    Original title: widows installation problem

    I have Windows XP Professional running on a desktop older.  I cleaned the disk and I would use it only as a 'internet '.  It works well and response times are pretty fast, but when I connect I get a box that says "Please wait while Windows configures FAX"... this process stops and I get another message that says "the component you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available", "put the 'FAX' disk and click OK. , "" Use Source: '1' "»

    The first question is I do not use a fax application and never did, I have tried every disk I can think of to complete the process, but I get the same message with each one 'the path '1' is not found. "Make sure you have access to this place and try gain or find the installation 'FAX, MSI' package in a folder from which you can install the FAX product." .. then "error 1706 - FAX." Valid any source not found for the FAX product.  Windows Installer cannot continue. »

    This will take place two or three times at the beginning upward.  How can I prevent Windows Setup tries to install something that I do not use or do not seem to have?  I deleted any fax program, that I could find on the computer, and nothing seems to work.

    Hello

    1. have you done any change in software on the computer lately?
    2. are you able to install other applications and programs successfully?

    Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state. There is an application which is set to start when you start the computer and which launches the installer of Windows.
    a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    b. you need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.
    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353/en-us
    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi, when I click on Windows Update it says that he cannot work and maybe I have to restart the computer. But when I do it always appears with the same. In services, it is configured to automatically update windows and is started. Can anyone help?

    Hello


    Method 1:

    Cannot install updates in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2509997
    Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry
    Note: if bad sectors are found by running the check disk utility and if the attempt to recover bad sectors is verified when checking the disk for errors, data in the bad sector might be lost in the attempt to recover bad sectors.
    Method 4:
    I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    Important: when running Scan disk hard if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data may be lost.
    It will be useful.
