Our hardware vendor has sold us a laptop that comes with Windows 7 Pro OEM. Since we want Windows 7 Enterprise (for features like DirectAccess and BitLocker), the vendor has supplied us with a Software Assurance only license to upgrade OEM Win 7 Pro to Win 7 Ent.
Do I need to install Windows 7 Enterprise Volume License media and re-install Windows, or is there a process to turn this existing Windows 7 Pro install into an "Enterprise" ?
Answer
You will need to do a fresh install (or possibly an upgrade if you wish).
Enterprise is not an edition that is commonly available in shops to the general public and is not covered by anytime upgrade (where you can upgrade editions easily).
