Please give us some information to work with. Which version of Seven did you install? Which version of Seven do you have on the computer now? Did you do a system restore? Did you run the factory reset?

Ditto with Indianatone above. Without some information nothing could be said.

Answer to all his questions and upload your MSINFO32.nfo file.

1. Click on the start button
2. Type "msinfo32" (without quotes) in the search bar of the start menu, click the resulting link. It will open the System Information window.
3. File>Save. In the "File Name" filed, put "MSINFO32" (without Quote), give the save location to desktop, and click the "save" button.
4. Give the time for processing, it will save a .nfo file on your desktop.
5. Zip it, and upload it following the instruction.

I have Thinkpad SL510 that I did a fresh install with a set of disks that I got from Lenovo a couple of years ago.They are all Windows 7 Pro. disks and one is a 64 bit disk wich I used last.When I was done with updates I tried to enter my windows key.It said it was invalid and my system says I have Windows Ultimate.Also want to note that I have only installed pro on this machine.

To all who have replied...I thank you for your response and have done what you asked.But the main reason I have asked for help is that it seems That Windows 7 Ultimate was downloaded on my pc.While I Was installing 7 Pro.Is this possible?

 

[cjspot]

SOOO frustrating. Yes did system restore wich was a windows 32 bit.I have done it several times to factory settings.This left me with my Windows 7 Pro 32 bit on my 64 bit system.I got a 64 bit disk from LENOVO AND DID AN UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7 PRO 64 USING THE DISK...But when I was done I had ULTIMATE...not what was on the disk.

Are you sure you were sent the right disk?

You can unlock all versions in any ISO by running ei.cfg removal tool or by deleting ei.cfg file from Sources folder on bootable flash stick.

Then when you install you will get a list of OS versions to choose from, pick Windows 7 Pro X64 and you should be all set. Your key should work with it.

No, that is not possible.

If you own windows 7 professional, and if windows 7 ultimate is installed on your computer anyhow (means by anybody else .... windows will not do it by itself), you will not be able to activate that installation at all with your license key, and very soon it will start prompting for activation.

where do you get the OS? I think you can put the iso file(right?) in a usb reinstall again. the new one will overwrite the old one automatically generally. If you plan to install multi-OS, that's another problem
