I purchased a new laptop which I’ll receive shortly…The operating system is Windows 7 Home edition.
I will want to upgrade (or change OS) to either Professional or Ultimate.
I am faced with the following options:
Option 1)
I’ve read about this new Windows Anytime Upgrade which will upgrade your current OS to another version provided you have a Windows Anytime Upgrade Key.
Option 2)
Assuming I already have the DVD and license product key for Windows 7 Professional (or Ultimate), simply place the DVD and upgrade while providing the product key.
Option 3)
Completely format the laptop assuming I have the appropriate DVD and product key.
My questions are the following:
How is the Windows Anytime Upgrade Key different from the DVD
product Key?
Are they the same?
If I decide to go along with option 1), can I use the DVD product Key
or do I absolutely need this Windows Anytime Upgrade Key?
Thanks in advance!
Answer
There are 2 disk product keys:
Upgrade Disk
Full Install Disk
Since you are already on windows 7, anytime upgrade is ideal to move onto another edition as its faster and doesnt require full program re-install.
Anytime is also cheaper than an upgrade disk.
Upgrade disk is really ment for people upgrading from a previous OS, such as XP or Vista
