    I think its just suppose to be an upgrade key and after looking at windows anytime upgrade again there is still a place to where I can just enter my upgrade key and you guys are suggesting sticking with Home Premium as I have for 4 years of using Windows 7 and maybe I could just upgrade to Professional instead considering this is college I am talking about
