I think you can upgrade to Pro or Ultimate.

but the license i entered was from a windows home premium key that i bought how could i upgrade higher
since i did not pay for pro or Ultimate

If you wish to upgrade to a higher version, you will need to purchase an upgrade key ... Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional - Buy from Microsoft Store

Don't run the anytime upgrade process then, I don't know what else to suggest.

The upgrade option is enabled but you will need the upgrade installation media.
Home premium is more than adequate depending if you need a stable OS.

Having just tried to upgrade a Pro version I have installed in VMWare, it does look like it will let you upgrade with your key, but it only gets so far before asking for a different key.

Can you please clarify why you are inserting the Product Key for your installed Windows 7 Home Premium into Anytime Upgrade?

The only key which should be inserted is a purchased key for a higher version than Home Premium which you already have.

If you are trying to activate Win7 Home Premium, use the link at Control Panel>System.
