Transfer Anytime Upgrade To Another Computer?

Mar 25, 2012

I 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...

Use DigitalRiver Pro Key For Anytime Upgrade

Nov 2, 2009

I 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.

Anytime Upgrade Feature

Nov 13, 2009

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?

Upgrade Key - Use The Upgrade Anytime Through Windows

Feb 27, 2010

I purchased Windows 7 Professional through the Ultimate Steal.

Downloaded it, put it on a disk also.

It will go through the start of the setup and copy files etc, and then it will give an error and say to install from a current version of windows I need to use the upgrade anytim through windows.

But when I go to upgrade anytime it asks for an upgrade key, but all I have with the purchase was a product key and it says that I can't use the product key.

any help?

edit: also i have windows 7 home premium installed right now

and here is exactly what it says:

"To upgrade from one edition of Windows 7 to another edition of Windows 7, use Windows Anytime Upgrade. Cancel the upgrade, open the Start menu, and search for Windows Anytime Upgrade. "

Windows Anytime Upgrade Risks?

Jan 3, 2010

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 Failure

Oct 29, 2011

So 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.

Change From Home Premium To Pro Without Anytime Upgrade

Jan 7, 2010

I currently am running win 7 home premium upgrade. I purchased this upgrade and have the media. I also recently purchased win 7 professional upgrade. Both versions are 64 bit. I'd like to 'change' from my retail copy of home premium to my retail copy/key of professional. Any suggestions on how I can do this without a clean install?

Can I simply 'enter new key'? Can I enter an "anytime upgrade" key? Can I do an upgrade in place using the Win 7 Pro media?

Uninstall Windows Anytime Upgrade / Windows 7?

Feb 21, 2012

I 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)

Can I Transfer My Upgrade Licence To Another PC ?

Nov 5, 2009

The motherboard of my laptop (a 2-year old toshiba) got probably fried and I had just upgraded to Win 7 using the upgrade licence (irony!!)

All I ask is if there is some way to tell this to MS and re-activate/re-use the same licence or get a new one for another laptop.

(btw...the same goes for Office 2007 that was install on that machine)

Where I can find this kind of information?

Would like to get general thoughts on the best way to transfer programs from old computer to my new 8-core Windows Pro 64-bit(new install) computer. One of my areas that I'm concerned with is that several of the programs I'm wanting to transfer were purchased over the internet & downloaded with no physical media involved. Otherwise, I would just do the install via the install cd's

Windows 7 Transfer To New Computer?

Dec 11, 2012

I purchased a retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium Edition which included both the 32 bit and 64 bit discs. I am currently using the 32 bit version on my computer. I am considering using the Update Anytime online to upgrade to Windows Pro. In the future, if I build a new computer, can I use the 64 bit disc for install, or am I limited to the 32 bit, since I have already used it? If I can use the 64 bit version, can I still use the key provided for the upgrade to Windows Pro for my old computer? I don't want to upgrade my old computer to Windows Pro edition if I can't transfer it to a 64 bit version I would need for a new computer. Would the correct sequence be to install the 64 bit Home Premium edition to the new computer, then use the key provided by Microsoft for the Pro version update given to me on the 32 bit update?

Joined a few days ago, just got a new computer, hasn't arrived yet. Had posted a purchase template and other things but little help so did the best I could with that decision. Bought my great old computer long ago when I knew nothing at all. I got it second hand from a third party, and didn't get any install disks. Can anyone tell me what old material is transferable to the new computer, and how does one do the transfer.
