Hi guys,

Just a quick one; after a reformat is it possible to install the anytime upgrade again using the original product key? We have Windows 7 Home upgraded to Windows 7 Pro and need to start again from scratch.

Thanks in advance

Yes. You have to install Home Premium using the Home Premium key and then you rerun the anytime upgrade option and enter the upgrade key you bought.

I wish you could just install Win7 Pro and use the anytime key but it doesn't work that way.

Basically, the entire version is there hidden, when the Anytime Upgrade is run with the new key it "unlocks" it so to speak.
