upgrade from Win 7 home prem to 7 Pro

[DougP]

We have Win 7 Home Prem. which was bought to save moeny
problem is we have a domain and run a bat file to connect and login.
Is there an upgrade from Home Premium to Pro.
I see a upgrade anytime in MS WEB site but from Home to Ultimate.

Home was not designed to conenct to domains and cause' us problem constantly. we are having to remember to run the bat file to connect.
Pleas advise any soultion most cost effective. We also bought Pro full versions but requires a complete reformat to install it since the Licenses are not the same.

Even though you say the Licenses are different have you tried upgrading Home to Pro and entering the correct Product Key during setup?

Similar have you considered trying the Product Key of the Full version as the Product Key in Windows Anytime Upgrade?

Is Product key and anytime upgrade key the same?

Anytime Upgrade Problem: Only Have Product Key.

Like linney mentioned, try using your retail Win7 Pro keys with Windows Anytime Upgrade. Get started here:
