  Yes I'm agree it is OK - a pure and simple update specified in the EULA is not allowed and I even said that in my first post on this topic. That * IS * explained in the EULA.

  Steppenwolff asked what would happen if a component on the computer has failed or otherwise had deformities requiring a replacement and I think who has responded. He asked what if in 3 years I want to go inside my PC because it's quite slow.

  In case you have not noticed, what you've posted above is the 'education Operating System Licensing questions' and we don't discuss licenses for schools. In addition, that the document was last updated 17/10/2005 - well before the Windows 7 EULA was relased to the public and it probably was even not prepared or reviewed by the legal teams at Microsoft. How you can use a document to respond to questions about a contract that has been released to the public almost 3 years later is beyond me. Even in this case, this document clearly States at the top: ' Please Note: this Q & A is only for information purposes.»  Your use of Microsoft software products is governed by the terms and conditions of your license agreement. " and dating back to the EULA I really want to know if I missed something - where he mentions motherboards or even anything on the computer's components, upgrades, or component failures?

  Yes I'm agree it is OK - a pure and simple update specified in the EULA is not allowed and I even said that in my first post on this topic. That * IS * explained in the EULA.

  Stop finding an excuse to prove me wrong, that your information is disinformation, accept it and go, please.

• Windows Anytime upgrade to install Win 7 Pro on NB550D

  Is it safe to use Windows anytime upgrade to install Windows 7 Professional on a NB550D?

  I ask because it is available through the start menu, but the representative of Toshiba at Insight UK said it might void the warranty if you did! But then they mantioned Atom processors so I think they are just a little stupid maybe...?

  The reason for the upgrade is that we want netbooks on the field.

  Thank you

  Isn't about 20% cheaper to buy OEM W7 Pro that do an upgrade? May be entering the new product key on the screen at any time to upgrade will automate the upgrade rather than installing USB etc.

• Windows anytime upgrade, the product key is not valid

  My laptop is with pre installed Windows7 professional edition, and I have a new product key WAU (Home premium-> NEC) in hand. When I tried this product key in the Express Windows upgrade process, I received a message "product key is not valid.

  Is the installed version must be exactly the same with the WAU product key pack? I think of my installed Professional is an advanced version of Home Premium. Why not the product key be compatible?

• Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for online purchase in my country

  Separated from this thread.

  I live in the United States and I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I went to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Windows Anytime Upgrade only to find out that it is no longer available for online purchase in my country or region.

  Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available, ended around October 2013. If you need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, you will need to purchase a retail upgrade or version license full, then use the product key with the Express Upgrade Assistant.

  Because retail licenses are rare and difficult to obtain, your only option may be Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, which cannot perform one installs clean.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• 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.

• Failure of Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade on the new computer laptop

  Hello

  We just bought a new Asus laptop that came with Windows 7 Starter as standard.

  A week later, we bought an Express Upgrade Home Premium 7.

  The upgrade has failed at first time around; following the advice of the community, I tried the following:

  Check all updates;

  Installed the CheckSUR tool fix;

  Disabled user account control;

  Disabled antivirus;

  The hard drive to find errors;

  Profiled selective startup in MSConfig.

  In the end, I got was a "invalid product key" - which it is not.

  Windows displays as entered, and I have SP1.

  As a last resort, I have reset the specifications of the factory and tried the Express upgrade as the first thing on the PC 'cost '. Upgrade failed after 25 minutes.

  In the very final resort, I reset all the solutions above workaround to the specifications of the factory again, re-directed (except by disabling the antivirus because I have not reinstalled which again - there is only Windows Firewall between me and the world wide). Update failed.

  I just tried to disable the Windows Firewall and tried the upgrade - my product key verified program, was asked to accept the terms, told me it would be as little as 10 minutes - but now it's to say the upgrade button that I entered is a version of Windows that does not work with the Express upgrade... but it IS an Express upgrade.

  It took nine days so far - please you have the magic answer? Thank you waiting...!

  You have already done most of what I have posted, but it can't hurt to read and review as it is possible that you missed.

• Win anytime upgrade Windows 7 home prem 64 bit to Ulitmate - unrecognized failure + prod key.

  I have a fairly new laptop np700g7c from Samsung that came with OEM Win 7 Home Premium.  I discovered that too late that this version of Win 7 does not allow backup to NAS - just will not see my SIN.  Apparently this only possible with Win 7 Ultimate (I got on my last computer so no problem) or professional.
  To help to win anywhere, anytime upgrade on computer, I checked if I could upgrade my 64 bit Win 7 Home premium to Ultimate and am OK for Ultimate or professor.  I downloaded the Win 7 Upgrade Advisor tool, and the report said I could upgrade to Win 7 Prof or Ultimate.
  The use of Win Anytime upgrade I paid £127,07 GBP for the upgrade to Win 7 Home Prem to ultimate and received the Upgrade button and it printed properly.
  Clicked to level and product key is automatically applied.  Soon, she returned this upgrade has failed.  Suggested try again.  When I tried again my product key was not recognized, so installation would not start.
  I paid my money and can get nowhere.  I feel also "had" that I can't use backup for my SIN in the first place, but I gritted my teeth and paid my money but now have lost money AND cannot be upgraded and am in a complete mess.
