Getting a free OEM W7 Ultimate x64 from work.
I installed OEM Pro on my primary machine about a month ago.
How can I replace/upgrade from Pro to Ultimate on the primary machine & use the Pro OEM key on a secondary machine now or down the road?

Legally speaking, you can't. If the copy of Pro you installed was an OEM copy, it's tied to the machine you activated it on.
