Downgrading To Windows 7 Pro?
Jul 10, 2009I've been mulling this over for awhile and I'm throwing it out for discussion. We all have been playing with Windows 7 Ultimate for months now regardless of the build. Now when we get our Windows 7 HP or pro 10/22 will it let us downgrade from ultimate to Pro for example or is it really clean install time. We all know what a pain it is rebuilding our systems. Or is upgrading from ultimate to ultimate the ony way to avoid the pain of rebuilding our systems.

Downgrading Windows 7 To Vista?
Jan 26, 2011Basically I'm having all sorts of problems with blue screens and stop errors on starting up my system (bought as windows 7) and it seems it might be a driver problem.I would re-install windows 7 but I don't have the disc for this, I do however have an old vista disk.My question is if I were to boot from CD and install vista, if it were to actually work and get me onto the system, does it wipe clean the hard drive? As there are many photos and such on there I would like to keep.

Jul 16, 2012I have a computer that is to be decommissioned here at the office, which is to say that it will no longer be used for work. The computer is to be given to a local school. The problem now is that it has been running Windows 7 Enterprise, and the license will expire in a few months. According to this site, [URL], Enterprise can be downgraded into Professional. However I can't seem to find a way to do this. Is this a free service, or do I have to purchase the license again? Customers licensed for use of Windows 7 Enterprise are generally licensed for Windows 7 Professional, which can be downgraded to Windows Vista Business, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 3.51, Windows 98, or Windows 95 operating system. You would not, however, be able to downgrade to Windows 7 Home Basic or Windows 7 Home Premium, or other consumer (Full Packaged Product - FPP) versions of Windows as they are different product editions and not prior versions of Windows 7 Professional.I have a legitimate Win 7-Ultimate license on my own computer, but I do not have the install CD for it (at the moment).

Apr 21, 2012I'm planning to downgrade to vista, (don't ask why) and I was wondering if I will keep the files I already have (images, music, documents) in a Windows.old folder, because I remember having that when I reformatted Windows 7 or something like that.The downgrade to Vista is built in my Samsung notebook (F4 on Startup to repair computer) but I have images/music on this laptop that I can't lose, and I don't have any USB's or hard drives I can use at this moment.

Both OS's are retail box versions, not OEM.I want to downgrade PC#1 from Win7 Pro to Win7 Home Premium without reinstalling. I figure I can change the key on PC#1 to the Home Prem key, so I can use the Pro key on PC#2. Is this as stupid as I think it is? (I won't be offended if you say yes)

Sep 15, 2012I am doing it because my brother had his computer worked on by our Nephew, and he went from XP to 7 ultimate with a hacked copy of 7 ultimate. I have done a fresh install, but it keeps starting and reverting back to Ultimate, The kicker os that I can go to KEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion and see windows 7 home premium as the operating system with no CD product ID. I'll add the product key, and go to regiser it but it won't let me activate it. The thing I have an issue with is that even after a fresh install, it starts up and says windows 7 ultimate.

Mar 24, 2011I have installed Professional but the key I purchased is a dud. It was a MAC key but when I types it in it turns out it has already been used. I had no luck getting a valid one from the seller.It turns out I only really need Home Premium. If I buy a Home Premium one and authorize with that will it work.The reason I don't want to reinstall is I am using Bootcamp on a Mac Pro and I have to mess around a lot to get it working.

Jan 21, 2011I recently purchased a used computer at a very low price. On it was an installation of Windows 7. All seemed to be fine. I cleared out all the old junk, cookies, registry etc. Now I get a window error saying the computer can not verify my copy of Windows Enterprise and I should check with my IT department. I am a single home user with Windows 7 Home Premium on my other pc. I spoke with a local computer store and they said it sounds like the previous owner put a "bootleg" copy of Windows 7 Enterprise on the hard drive. Can I downgrade the Illegal Enterprise edition to my legitimate copy of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade without losing all the programs and stuff I spent the last week installing on the new used pc?

Jan 29, 2012I was using a licensed version OS win7 ultimate on my old system. Now after upgrading the system (mobo, processor changed) it prompts me to purchase a new product key. I found that after a major up gradation using the the same product key violates the user end agreement and so I left it there and I purchased a Home premium .( Somebody suggested to convince MS about the up garadation but didn't try it)
Now in the new sys win 7 ultimate sp1 is running and i have to change the product key within 30 days. My query is- Can I downgrade to Home premuim without a clean install?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGood Midi Keyboard For Windows 7?
Oct 13, 2009I am considering getting rid of my CME-UF5 Midi keyboard since there is no possibility of running it under Windows 7 and purchasing something new. Although I did like the quality and weight of the keys with CME vs M-Audio, I suspect M-Audio would have much better driver support and customer support for future updates, CME was certainly lacking in this department considering they didn't even provide a Vista driver for this damn thing. I browsed through forums and it seems that someone had created their own Vista driver for it by modyfing the XP one while others claimed that due to the hardware inside this keyboard, there would be no way to run it outside of an 32bit XP environment.
