How do I upgrade to Windows 7 ultimate with out the admin password

He could have bought an Anytime Upgrade key which is how Win7 is changed to a higher version. I'm not aware of who is stlll selling those but it's possible someone is, even MS store. I keep waiting for them to start selling all retail versions of Win7 again since it's their only successful OS now.

We are not going to help you hack a password, but if your friend wants Ultimate on his PC then tell him to follow these steps to insert the key to unlock the extra features in Ultimate: Windows Anytime Upgrade - How to - Windows 7 Forums

Be aware that most consumers don't need the few extra expensive features in Ultimate, so making the decision to change versions should be based on the features that the user knows (s)he needs: Compare Windows 7 Editions - Windows 7 Forums

He apparently already did Greg.

I already upgraded his OS while he wasn't looking, and his account was open. Thanks anyway

Is w7 Starter eligible for Anytime upgrade? As I understand it, it was not sold, only installed on OEM machines of very low end netbooks and such, some with Atom processors.

Yeah Windows 7 Upgrade Paths

I don't see Anytime Upgrade being sold anywhere though. Do you?

A full or upgrade retail Ultimate key could also be inserted ("I'm just checkin my email in here!") but I don't see those anywhere nowadays either.

So has he seen it yet?

Yes he has. He couldnt thank me enough, because his current financial situation isnt that great, and he has been wanting to upgrade for awhile but, due to his financial situation, he couldnt.
