Using License Key Code For W7 Pro Into Home Premium Version
Sep 18, 2009
I have pre-ordered Windows 7 Professional from the internet, but I am going to be getting a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it around the same time.
Can I type in the license key / product code for W7 Pro in to the Home Premium version and will it upgrade it? I need the features of Pro and will only be using it on this laptop, but I don't want to clean install unless I need to.
I have a retail copy of Windows 7 Professional x64 and have just bought a new laptop with Home Premium x64. I'd like to do a fresh install using this pro disc and the license key on the bottom of my new laptop which is for Home Premium x64
I bought a full install version of Windows 7 Home Premium. My wife's computer is a quad core with 8 gigs of ram. it is currently running 32 bit version of Win 7 Professional,(an upgrade from XP). I want to install 64 bit version so her computer will use all its power, but when I put the 64 bit disc in, it says its the wrong disc, What should I do. if I can't install 64 bit then I've wasted $200.00
Can Windows 7 Home Premium full version be used to do an in-place upgrade?
I have a new PC with Vista Home Premium that gives me a free upgrade to Windows 7 (but it will still cost 20 euros for p&p). Vista is pre-loaded and the recovery files are on a separate partition on one drive. Worse case scenario is the hard drive dies. I will need the full version of Windows 7 to do a clean install on a new hard drive, but at the moment I would just like to upgrade.
All things considered, I'm thinking of buying the full version while it's half price but need to know if I can use that to just do an upgrade. Is that possible?
My question is can I do a clean install of Windows 7 home premium using the upgrade version?
I heard that you have to validate your old OS by inserting the vista dvd I have a vista re installation DVD that was provided to me by Dell when I bought this PC.Is this information correct and would the vista dvd I have work? or would it have to be a vista DVD I bought (not from dell).
What the limitation of using Windows 7 Home Premium as a test home web server might be?
- Can I host RDP and remote into the machine? - Host IIS sites? - SQL 2008 Express?
Any limits to these products as well? I'm reading sql 2008 Express has a limitation of 1 processor and 4gb per DB. Does this mean I can install it on a quad core, but it will only use one processor? Any reason I can't install the full version of SQL 2008 on Windows 7 home premium?
Is it possible to do a clean install with upgrade version of home premium or ultimate? Meaning format everything first and then use the Windows 7 upgrade dvd to install it from scratch?
I purchased a laptop loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium edition that needs an upgrade to Spanish. I downloaded the x84 Spanish Ultimate edition but I am unsure how to proceed to minimize any mishap.
I have done a Google search and been the the Microsoft site. I have tried every suggestion: clean boot, MS Update Readiness Program, MS Fix-it Program, Update Reset, disabling my AV and Firewall, Manual and Automatic Update but nothing allows me to update KB2484033, KB2511250, or KB2522422. I have tried 3rd party programs to include: HijackThis, MT RUbot, ComboFix, and FixCleaner and they haven't helped. I have Spybot, McAffee, MS Defender, and I use Windows Firewall. All of these are current and update with no problem.

I downloaded a ISo file to flashDrive used JellyBean key finder and wrote the key down and then booted and reinstalled Windows 7 64Bit from flashDrive and now it gives me that error code saying The Software Liscensing Service reported tha the computer BIOS is missing a required License.
I bought a dell XPS 420 64bit two years ago and a year later upgraded to windows 7 64bit (upgrade) . The last two years my hard drive has frozen and this summer required an additional hard drive. With some difficulty, I was able to reinstall the windows 7 upgrade witch had come in a box with no code numbers). I now have received on my computer notices from Microsoft that my use of windows will be discontinued in 30 days if I can not provide my code numbers! What do I do?
while installing 7 H.P. it gets to completing installation then freezes up after computer reboots a warning message appears stating windows 7 has failed to install and resume after reboot, and then the same warning message appears.
I tried the roll back installation option and a message flashes on and off to quickly to read. and Vista will not come up to start over.
I bought Company Of Heroes a few days ago. Just tried to install it now but in that section I must enter the license code from the back of the booklet it tells me that my license code is invalid. The case was still sealed when I bought it.
PS: I took a photo of the screen showing the entered license code, the code on the booklet and the error message.
I successfully bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium N, downloaded and extracted it and now I want to install it.
When I choose UPDATE in the intallation dialog it tells me that I cannot upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium ???
Every website from Windows and other people tells me that it IS possible and even the Windows 7 Update Advisor told me that I should not encounter any problems upgrading.
Has anyone of you yet encountered upgrading problems of compatible Vista/7 versions?
Or any other idea what I can do to solve the problem?!
I know that I can make a clean intall of 7, but this would be a pain..
Yesterday I was messing around on my brand-new laptop, and I was stupid enough to try a keygen to get Ultimate (I had HP). Surprising. It worked but the copy wasn't genuine obviously. So then I rebooted, pressed F8 at boot. An ran Toshibas recovery to try to get the computer to its out of box state. I got stuck at initializomg (either that or I was impaptient) so I turned off the laptop. Then when I truer to boot I got bootmgr is missing. I have an old vista Hp disk so I installed that for the time being. So my question is, how do I get it back to the original state? I do t have any important data or anything.
The original OS was Windows XP 32bit SP3. I upgraded this system to Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2 with no issues.
I then went to upgrade the system to Windows 7 Premium. I chose the "Upgrade" install and not the "Clean" install. I've checked the updater to confirm that all my system information was adequate. I uninstalled the ATI Catalyst Controller, iTunes, etc. that it wanted me to. Oddly enough, the ATI Catalyst Controller was the most recent driver that supports Windows 7.
I checked online to see if the hardware was all supported by Windows 7. The Sapphire Vapor-X video card was not compatible or compatible... it simply wasn't on the list of either. The X-Fi Extreme Gamer said it was NOT compatible... yet, I had a driver for Windows 7 and the Windows 7 Application checker said that my sound card was ready for Windows 7... thus a discrepency.
I went on with the installation. I get to the last step where it resets the computer at 62% and I get a BSOD for about 1/3 of a second. It goes by too quickly for me to capture it. It then restarts the computer instantly with the result of "Upgrade was not completed successfully. Restoring prior OS yadda yadda". I've gone through this about 5 times now trying different things.. keeping the Catalyst controller installed, uninstalling the video card, removing the sound card, etc. Nothing seems to work.
It was recommended to me that I do a clean install... however, I have read that many others have done a clean install and theirs STILL doesn't get past the 62%.
Is it my hardware? Do I need to buy MORE hardware now that 7 is out that is on the compatible list?
I'm french and i already owns Seven Home Premium N (Full french DVD version with a key).I recently bought Seven Home Premium on Amazon UK (Full non N version, the E uropeen version). This version is entirely in English.As you can see, my english is not so good to have a full non-french system. I would like to use my own french Home Premium N to install my Premium english key.Anyone know if it it possible to enter a Premium key with a Premium N DVD ?

Recently ive decided that Well i should upgrade this computer. give it a bit of ..well style.But since ive upgraded to Windows 7 there has been no sound whatsoever. Ive downloaded countless driver programs which tell you what sound card you have and not one has detected it. IVE ALSO downloaded drivers for the Windows 7 version of my sound (Realtek AC97) and ran windows updates and NONE worked. ive ran the troubleshooter on the sound thing...STILL not detecting any sound card. i tried changing the audio in BIOS from auto - enabled....nothing.
I have sort of a special case here. I purchased my HP laptop in Thailand, and much to my chagrin it came installed with Windows 7 Home Basic. In addition, the HP store which sold me the laptop installed 4gb of RAM neglecting to tell me that the 32bit version of 7 only supported up to 3. At any rate, I am hoping to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 Bit edition.But while there is a glut of information online about how to upgrade from Starter, there is little to nothing about Home Basic. Do I have to buy a full copy of 7 Home Premium 64 Bit? Can I buy an Anytime Upgrade that is meant for Starter and apply it to my computer?
I bought a notebook preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, of course, licensed.But I found it incompatible with some software. So I decided to use 32 bit.I want to format the whole drive and install 32 bit version of W7HP.
When i try to activate my copy of windows 7 ultimate i get the following error message: "Code error:0xc004E003. Description: The Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed"
Here are some basic info of my pc:

Error Code: 15106I have tried to google this, but I haven'tAlso, if I even try to register any of the Batch's DLLs manually, I get this error:Banner: RegSvr32body: The Module "C:Bla Bla Bla...." was loaded but the call to "INSERT DLL HERE" failed with error code 0x80028011c.For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term.
I have a Gateway laptop M series that I upgraded to Windows 7 a few years back (o.g. Vista) has run beautifully ever sense. Recently installed Win8 fresh. Error code OxcOOOOOe9 became the issue. Start up repair was performed several times with no resolve. Used cmd to perform MBR fixes including fix mbr, bootrec.exc, and other fixes found on this site. Nothing seems to resolve the issue. I gave up and was about to call it quits, under the assumption the hdd was gone. One day I decided to throw a fresh copy of Ubuntu on it for laughs ( I am currently getting my certs in networking and linux+) it works flawlessly. Strange to me although I understand there is a difference with grub and mbr.
I should add that I am now just trying to reinstall 7. I have played with 8 on a different PC and would rather stick with the former.
