Windows Anytime Upgrade, XP to Windows 7

I am running Windows XP. I bought Windows Anytime Upgrade. Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.
I did the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, but because I only have a Code of Installation I can't find out how to install it.
The instructions on the package say to "click on the Start button, in the start search box, type Windows Anytime Upgrade" but there is no search box to enter anything, just a lot of choice of subjects varied.
I would be grateful for your help.
Thank you

You can't do an anytime upgrade from XP to Win 7. You need an upgrade in detail. Any time, updates are only for 1 Win 7 version to another version of Win 7. Frenchie

  • 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.

    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?

    Any contribution is appreciated!

  • I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but the software will not be installed.

    Help... I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade on Microsoft Office software to my Vista laptop, but the software will not be installed. Operation message is not supported on this platform. How to get around the facility? I have the product key number, but can not get so far to enter.

    I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.

    I suggest that you return to the Microsoft Store site and use the contact methods to discuss your problem with an agent.

  • Click Windows Anytime Upgrade, then click on enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. What do I do?

    As indicated in the question, I bought an anytime upgrade in store today. I use a 32-bit version of Vista. The pack did not come with a cisd, but that a cd key with instructions to enter the Windows Anytime Upgrade, and then select enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. The only option that IS there is 'compare the editions of Windows Vista.

    My question. What now? I got back and beg you to take this if I buy a new kit of Windows 7 at home, or what I ultimately throw it and waste $130 and buy another back pack?

  • Reinstall "Windows 7 Anytime upgrade.

    My computer has Windows 7 anytime upgrade available when I bought it. I've updated when he was available and received the disks. Since then, I had to reinstall everything on my computer that rely on Windows Vista.
    The 'Windows 7 upgrade Express' is no longer available. Can I use the discs I received initially and reinstall the upgrade
    Thank you

    The "Anytime Upgrade" is for the upgrade of a small version of Windows 7 to a higher version of Windows 7 (example: in Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional).

    Probably you have, it is the promotional offer about 2 years ago which would allow you to buy a computer with Vista installed and then upgrade to Windows 7, when it became available.

    If this is the case you must install Vista and activate with the Vista product key, and then use the Windows 7 upgrade DVD and associated Windows 7 product key.
