Windows7 home to Windows 7 Pro
Posted on 2010-09-07
I have a user who doesn't want to spend the $$$ to purchase equipment preloaded with Windows 7 Pro. So, she wants laptops with Windows 7 Home with the intention of upgrading to Pro.
Is there a "simple" upgrade path without performing a complete reload and wasting 15 hours (5 laptops)?
Many Thanks

I'm assuming your meaning Home Premium in which case you can perform an "Anytime Upgrade" http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772579%28WS.10%29.aspx
Usually you need only the serial code (Microsoft Anytime Upgrade Serial), 10 minutes and is done to upgrade.

Unfortunately not.
Volume License versions of Windows 7 do not support Anytime Upgrade. Also Windows 7 Professional volume license is an upgrade which requires that you have a qualifying OS such as Windows 7 Professional full package (retail) or Windows 7 Professional OEM, Windows Vista Business Full Package (retail or OEM), VL, Windows XP Professional (retail or OEM or VL).
