    Windows upgrade


    I have a HP Pavillion Dv6 Note book with Windows 7 Home Premium installed,today for reasons i don't understand it up-graded it self to Windows Ultimate.
    I do not have a disk to do this,my update settings are set to inform me of any updates-then i can choose to update or not,the was no such warning.
    Further investigation through Windows restore shows that a restore point was established today at 6:14:58 for a Windows Anytime Upgrade,something that i didn't order it to do.I do not own a disk so the only way this could have happened is over the net-again something I didn't authorize When i check the system properties it shows that it has been activated and has a product id so it appears to be legit.......except i didn't do anything to cause this to happen! .Whats going on?

    This is very odd. It's not like Microsoft to give away a version of Windows 7. Windows 10, yes, but Windows 7, no.

    If this is legit and it's really activated, count yourself as getting an unexpected bonus.

Seriously, I do not understand why MS is doing what they are doing. Does their survival depend on how many people they get to run 10? Are they just being draconian because they can be? There's something obviously going on behind the scenes, be it because of potential data gathering revenue or...
Since Windows 10 was announced that it will be free for Windows 7 and 8.1 users, that got me hyped up. There are many things I've found about Windows 10 that makes me want to have it such as DirectX 12 and Windows Aero (one of the reasons why I love Windows 7). I signed up to the Windows Insider...

I'm about to buy a new laptop from Costco with Win 7 Home Premium. On my old (now smashed) laptop I have a Win 7 Ultimate install. Can I just use the Ultimate serial key to do the Anytime Upgrade on the new machine? I keep reading that I need to buy an "upgrade key." Thanks
