Welcome!
Do you have a Windows 7 DVD and license key? If you have a Professional or Ultimate key, but a Home Premium DVD, you can unlock the other versions by deleting the ei.cfg file found in the Sources folder of the installation files.
If you don't have the correct key for your installation, you will need to reinstall after 30 days. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Professional x64 CPU Intel i7 2600K OC'd @ 4620 MHz Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V Pro Memory 16GB GSkill Sniper 2133 Mhz (4x4GB) Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 480 SuperClocked+ Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 2x Acer S273HLbmii 27" Screen Resolution 2 x 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech MK320 (wireless) Mouse Logitech MK320 (wireless) PSU Corsair HW Series 750w (modular) Case Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Blue Edition Cooling CM Hyper 212+ CPU cooler, 3x 230mm + 1x 140mm case fans Hard Drives 64GB Crucial M4 SSD

I want to install Professional Windows 7, my DVD and original code.
But I want to know that whether this can still install windows that I (w-7 home premium), if not to like Windows 7-Professional? | My System Specs | | OS w7 home premium CPU 2.1 Motherboard amd athlon Memory 3gb Graphics Card 1gb Internet Speed 8MBS/S |

Sure, you can install it.
You will need to do a clean install, not upgrade: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Professional x64 CPU Intel i7 2600K OC'd @ 4620 MHz Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V Pro Memory 16GB GSkill Sniper 2133 Mhz (4x4GB) Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 480 SuperClocked+ Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 2x Acer S273HLbmii 27" Screen Resolution 2 x 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech MK320 (wireless) Mouse Logitech MK320 (wireless) PSU Corsair HW Series 750w (modular) Case Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Blue Edition Cooling CM Hyper 212+ CPU cooler, 3x 230mm + 1x 140mm case fans Hard Drives 64GB Crucial M4 SSD

I think you're asking if you can reinstall Vista from the 3 DVD set you created if you don't like Windows 7. If so, the answer is yes, though I doubt you will need to. Windows 7 is a very good OS, better in almost all ways than Vista. A few quirks but overall a very good OS. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Precision 370 OS Windows 7 Pro X64 CPU Intel Pentium 4 Dual LP 3.4Ghz Memory 4GB DDR PC2-5200 ECC Graphics Card NVIDIA Quadro FX 3400/4400 Sound Card SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio Monitor(s) Displays Westinghouse 22" L2210NW Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 Hard Drives 300GB PATA

If you don't enter a product key when you install Windows 7, you can "try out" whatever version you want for 30-days before you have to activate it.
But understand, the keys are version-specific. So, if you only have a key for Home Premium, that's the only version you will be able to activate. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Win7 Pro 32-bit, Win7 Home 32-bit CPU AMD 4400/Intel 915 Motherboard ASUS/Intel Memory 2GB DDR 400 Graphics Card ATI X1600/Builtin Intel 915 Sound Card Bluegear B-Enspirer/Builtin sound Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 24" widescreen Screen Resolution 1920x1200/1024 x 768 |

xhimi,
You can extend the trial period of any windows 7 edition to a total of 120 days (4 months). That should be enough to make up your mind. Here are step by step instructions on how to it.
