I tried using the Windows anytime upgrade and it lets me know my key will not work. I received Windows 7 pro w/sp1 from school with a key and wanted to upgrade. When I try using the cd I created with the pro it says I must use Windows anytime upgrade. Please help.

Clean Install Windows 7
So custom means I need to do a clean install? Will I be able to use my back up disks to restore my settings and files after?

What backup discs are you talking about? One's you created or factory restore discs?
You can move your files back in to a clean install, you will have to redo your settings though.
I would create an image before doing anything so you always have that to go back on if needed or wanted.
