View 2 Replies View RelatedI confirm that you can windows anytime upgrade from Home Premium (even not yet activated) to Professional using Digital River product key (of course for Professional edition).
The process takes less than 10 minutes and you don't need the Professional or Anytime Upgrade DVD. All the installed programs are intact.
A week or two ago there was a considerable amount of confusion concerning the Anytime upgrade. The people on the phone at MS insist they must send you a DVD in the mail. Windows 7 replies all you need to do is pay and get a key. The book Windows 7 inside and out says the same thing, but when you try to do that, at least this is what happened last week, the web site fails.
I attribute this to the product being brand new and just one of the glitches that go along with a new roll out. Does anyone know if these issues have been clarified?
I have Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade student edition from digital river.
How can I upgrade to Windows 7 pro ? using anytime upgrade ?
I tried to use the same product key .. to perform anytime upgrade .. but it wouldn't work ..
any thoughts ?
I'm thinking of upgrading from 7 Professional to 7 Ultimate. I'd really like the ability to boot from a VHD. I've heard that Starter, Home Premium, and Professional, are all the same as Ultimate, they just have alot of features locked. Is this true? I'm also aware that an upgrade to 7 from Vista could bring system instability/slower performance, and I'd like to know if there are any risks by using WAU. Thoughts?
Edit: After reading my post, I realize what I said might confuse some of you. I'm not wanting to upgrade from vista, I don't have vista. I was using that as an example.
Windows Anytime Upgrade was not successful. Due to when you encountered this problem the system would not give any error code to start with isolating the problem why it fails.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I recently bought a product key for Windows Anytime Upgrade, so I can get rid of Windows 7 Starter on my netbook and get Windows 7 Home Premium. I start the Anytime Upgrade software and it works great, but fails as the upgrade gets around 90%, at which the upgrade process "fails" and restores the OS to Windows 7 Starter. I've looked at a few guides that gave solutions, but I've had no luck.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI ordered a dell laptop for my mom (xps15z). when i got it in i was on the fence about keeping it. then i decided to keep it, i used anytime upgrade on it to upgrade to windows 7 professional. After testing the laptop some more, im disgusted by the quality of it, not necessarily its performance (well besides the screen is just crap). The whole thing (even though some of it is aluminum or some kind of metal) is just plain cheap feeling. Everytime i go to open the laptop, my thumb gets caught on the some lame cheap chrome trim. (i dont see that trim lasting long). the lid/display is flimsy. it feels like a cheap toy. period. Im going to return it to dell and get her one of the samsungs that i tested out at some best buy nearby, its pretty solid feeling. its like a macbook or something.
anywho, what should i do in this scenario (about transferring the anytime upgrade). i believe the samsung will just have home edition installed, so i can use (or would like to use) this same key for it...
I have a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I upgraded it to Ultimate through the Anywhere upgrade program, which gave me a new Key.
Now, I need to reinstall Windows 7, and would prefer to install as fresh as possible. Do I install from the Home Premium ISO or Ultimate ISO?
My laptop has windows7 starter installed. i have purchased anytime upgrade to home premium but it won't install. The product key is recognised. Microsoft doesn't seem to offer any support without payment.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to uninstall Windows Anytime Upgrade from my systems HDD and gain back all the drive space it takes up ..I found one link to the Lenovo Support that describes how to remove it from Vista, but nothing pertaining to Win7 ..http:[url].....
On the Lenovo Support page:
Symptom
User may want to gain back approximately 3GB in hard drive space by removing the Windows Anytime Upgrade. Windows Anytime Upgrade software may be preloaded on any Microsoft Vista preload system except for Vista Ultimate.How to uninstall and delete WAU Bits from Preload.
Open a Command Prompt with Administrative Privileges:
Click All programs then click Accessories, then right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator.
Click on Continue message on the dialogue box with "Windows Need your permission to continue"
Change directory to the root of C Drive by typing CD from the "C:>" prompt.
At the CMD prompt type attrib -r WAUUPGRD
Type RD /S /Q WAUUPGRD
Warning: Make sure you type it in exactly as shown above.The RD command with the /S option will delete all directories and subdirectories contained within the directory specified. The / Q command turns off the prompt asking if you are sure you want to do this. Once you run this command, you can not undo it. This will remove Windows Anytime Upgrade from the preload.I did attempt to follow the Command Prompt steps they offered, but couldn't get it to work ..here is what I got (pasted from Command Prompt window)

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe PC in question is a Dell OptiPlex 580 which came with an OEM installation of Windows 7 Pro x64.Is it possible to purchase a bad copy of Windows?What exactly do I mean by bad copy? I'm not talking about a pirated copy with a fake license. I mean, is it possible the copy of Windows that came installed on my system is damaged, corrupt, or incomplete? All the data on the OEM disc was transferred from somewhere, from something. When the manufacturer created this disc, is it possible that something went wrong? Why do I want to know? Well, here is my story:About two years ago I purchased a brand new PC from Dell. I noticed within the first week or so, practically right out of the box, the PC crashed and displayed a BSOD. The PC crashed again about a week later. I was a little concerned when I saw the first crash, but the second got my attention for sure. However, every time I tried investigating an error code, the probable cause was always vague. I couldn't find anything that pointed to that one silver bullet fix.I looked for answers everywhere, often on boards such as this one. The fixes suggested to me were numerous, well thought out, but all too often varied. It's the hardware! I's the software! It's a third party driver! It's Windows! Whatever the suggestion, I tried it, but nothing worked.I am not a computer expert, guru, or whiz of any kind. I'm just a guy that has been able to troubleshoot or fix numerous issues over the years with the assistance of great people who contribute to forums like this one. But in regards to this particular issue, no matter what I have looked for, no matter what test I have used, I have never been able to identify the cause of these BSOD, nor have I been able to prevent them from continuing.Here are a few things I can tell you about this PC. I don't have any weird/uncommon software installed (just your basic things like Office, Acrobat, etc.). I'm not overclocking anything. I've checked the power supply and it is fully functional. I have run more memory tests then I care to remember. I've scanned for malware over and over again. I have run diagnostics to check for damage on the hard drive. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. I've run stress tests on the drivers trying to force a crash. I physically removed a graphics card that I thought might be the issue, never plugging it back in. I've opened up the PC and reseated everything. I've kept the insides clean. I've checked the temperature inside the machine. But in two years of working on this computer, I have never found a single hardware defect with this system. And not one single tweak I have made to it has kept it from crashing. Even when I reformatted the hard drive and did a full reinstallation of Windows, which was the recommendation of Dell's paid software support team, the PC quickly went back to more BSOD. If someone told me they reinstalled Windows on their system but it kept crashing, I would probably assume there was a hardware issue too. But again, I have searched and searched for evidence that the hardware is broken, but cannot find anything.All of this makes me wonder; maybe the PC arrived with the problem. Perhaps the OS was initially installed with a bad copy of Windows? Maybe when used that same disc to reinstall the OS, I just put the same problem back into the computer.It has been suggested to me that I conduct a Repair Install of Windows to fix some issues I discovered. Recently I ran the sfc/ scannow command and received a message stating that there were corrupt sectors that could not be repaired. But I am afraid to try to fix it with the OEM CD. This is the same CD that failed to fix the issue when I did a full install. Is it possible that if I use this same disc again that I could be replacing the same corrupt system files all over again?I am curious to hear feedback from others. Have any of you had an experience like this one? Is it possible that the OEM CD I received is damaged?
