Technet edition -- can't upgrade W7 Pro to Ultimate
Hi there
Since they messed around with Technet reducing nr of keys to 5 etc there seems to be another problem.
I can't upgrade a Version of X-86 W7 Professional to x-86 W7 Ultimate any more -- I want the Ultimate edition to test out the Multi Language packs for some International Users.
Now I get a message saying to Upgrade one edition of Windows to another you have to go to Windows Anytime Upgrade which then seems to want some sort of payment.
I don't really want to do a clean install as I need to test whether the update works.
Anyway round this problem -The W7 editions are both X-86 and genuine technet downloaded editions with valid keys.
I upgraded from a Starter edition on a Netbook to W7 Pro without any problems before so in W7 PRO to ULTIMATE should work.
What gives. ???
Cheers
