• Windows anytime upgrade key does not work

  After trying to upgrade my OS Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I received the following message:

  
  
  "Enter a different upgrade key
  The upgrade key that you entered is for an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade.  Enter a different key. »
  
  
  Just to be sure, I tried upgrading several times, but got the same message.
  Due to manufacturing defects, my laptop had to be repaired three times.  The motherboard has been replaced twice, the hard drive has been replaced three times and the processor once.  In fact, just a year last month, it still does not properly.  I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade [upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Home Premium] at the same time that I buy my laptop. Each time, except this time, I got to spend my OS.
  The operating system on my laptop is now Windows 7 Home Premium [SP1]
  Another thing, I bought this laptop until I moved to the United States to Asia.  If this may have something to do with the problem that I am facing?
  In any case, I hope you can help.  It is difficult to really buy a lemon manufacturing refuses to stand behind and now having this issue, where I can't upgrade the OS that I bought.
  I hope you can help.

• Windows 7 installation complete with a Windows 7 upgrade key

  I have 2 legitimate copies of Win 7. One is the upgrade, one is the full version. I have already installed the full version on one of my computers. Now, I want to install the upgrade on my second computer that is running the Windows 7 RC. With all the problems doing a clean installation of the version upgrade, I was wondering if I could use my full version install, but use the key to version upgrade? The key is linked somehow to the Win7 upgrade version or it should work?

  I really don't want to have to reinstall Vista, and then install Windows 7.

  Sorry, you need to reinstall Vista because the RC is not eligible for your upgrade disc. This is the key which is important - if you are using the full disc with the upgrade key will always be an upgrade and need for a qualifying version of Windows.

  The rules according to Microsoft:

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.
  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.

  Microsoft:

  Please note: all users of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (including Windows Vista users who have updated to the version Release Candidate) should do a new install of Windows 7 RTM. Please keep this is mind when you plan to download the Release Candidate rather than wait for the release of general availability.

  Thanks again for your help to reach this milestone. We hope that you will join us in testing the RC and Windows 7!

• Need information on the ISO of Windows 7 upgrade

  Hi all

  I have Windows 7 Upgrade key and I want to download the ISO of Windows 7 Upgrade. But it seems that all responses are directed to the location of Digital River that no longer exists. Instead, this Web page are asked to visit the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery page.

  And when I use this address, connection just times out with Error 502 server.

  Someone know where I can get the upgrade of ISOs?

  Thank you

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Accidentally purchased Windows 7 Upgrade from Vista but they have XP

  I have Windows XP.

  I made a custom from the disc of Windows 7 Setup, but it is designed for Vista upgrade only. Bought by mistake off Newegg, my mistake.

  Product key is not accepted because Vista 7 has not been installed.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  I'm out of luck and will have to buy the full version?

  Thank you!

  As far as I know, there is no product that you are inferring that you have (a media/product Windows 7 upgrade key for Windows Vista upgrade system based only).  You need to simply (by design) perform a clean installation of Windows XP to Windows 7.

• "Windows anytime upgrade wasn't sucsessful.

  Hello

  I try to use windows anytime upgrade to update my Windows Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional operating system. Everything works fine. The initial upgrade key valid without any problem, and a window pops up after about 30-40 seconds to say;

  WINDOWS UPGRADE, "launch the upgrade"...

  The upgrade may take as little as 10 minutes on... Your computer restarts automatically.

  After about 10 minutes a message ""Windows anytime upgrade was not sucsessful"- the upgrade wasn't sucssesful, please try the upgrade again."

  I tried this 6 times now with the same result every time. I can't find anywhere on the MS site where I can get help for this. I paid UK£ 120.00 for this windows any time upgrade key, and it seems that the only way I can send an e-mail to aid must pay UK£ 46.00 email support which is crazy for a new product.
