The University has a volume license agreement with Microsoft which provides access to Windows 7 Enterprise. I need the ability to join a domain, which is not available in Home Premium. Can I upgrade the OS or will I have to do a complete reinstall? Thank you for your time. Tuesday, February 2, PM. The answer is NO, you can't upgrade, it will require a clean install. I would at least do a system image backup, so you can return it back to factory specs when you're ready to do so.

Remarkably stable, responsive, and with a pleasing user interface. My Lenovo T60 used to blue screen intermittently but this has stopped happening since installing Windows 7.

Right on the money!! Thanks a lot for this useful tip. It worked flawlessly and I was able to upgrade from my HomePremium installation to the Enterprise edition. Now I changed my Home Premium to enterprise successfully! Since I was having the same problem, I followed the steps set out here to upgrade to Ultimate and it certainly worked first time.

Absolutely great! Thank you greatly I just wish there were more of these tips on the web for those of us who are novice and sometimes dont know what to do at all. I just tried the mods to the registry on my Asus installed version of 7 Home Premium and then initiated the setup routine on an Enterprise 7 Pro 64 bit install disk and it rejected the setup, the installer recognized that installed version is HomePremium.

Did I miss a step? I am not sure what you meant about the activation wizard and activation code part. Complained that I was trying to upgrade to an older version of Windows than I already had. After changing the keys, I ran the setup on the Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and that is where it complained. Is that what I was supposed to do — or perhaps this is a 64 bit issue? Also, I noticed that this post is from last year, perhaps an update since then has broken this method?

Thank you for the tip. I successfully upgraded a Standard to Enterprise yesterday just by uninstalling the service pack first.
