Windows7 Professional Upgrade to Ultimate
Within the next few days I am getting a new Lenovo Windows7 laptop
with Windows Professional on it. It I change the licence to a Windows 7 Ultimate licence key, will the laptop suddenly change into Windows 7 Ultimate and download or activate the extra software? Thanks |

Thanks I've got a feeling that would be too easy. I think for off-line OEM activation you need three things: A SLIC-enabled bios, a licence certificate in the bios and a valid product key for the version of Win7. If you just change the product key from Professional to Ultimate the licence certificate will not match. From what I read the only extras between Pro and Ultimate are the 35 language packs and BitLocker drive encryption. Unless you need either of these it's not worth bothering about. |
