Are you not satisfied with the existing Windows 7 version on your computer? Then we will upgrade the version. Is it necessary to reinstall the system? Of course not required. Use Windows 7's built-in windows anytime upgrade to easily upgrade the system version.
If you use windows anytime upgrade to verify the key, there are two types of keys: upgrade key and retail product key.
Let's talk about the upgrade key. There are three versions in total:
- Upgrade the Family Basic edition to the family advanced Edition
- Upgrade pro to Professional Edition
- Upgrade the family advanced edition to the flagship Edition
If you want to use the upgrade key, the versions before and after the upgrade must strictly comply with the version provided by the upgrade key package. If you want to upgrade from the current family advanced edition to the flagship edition, you must use the upgrade key from the family advanced edition to the flagship edition.
Let's talk about the retail product key. There are four versions in total:
- Family Basic Edition
- Family advanced Edition
- Professional Edition
- Flagship Edition
If you want to use the retail product key, there are very few restrictions. Any earlier version can be upgraded to the version corresponding to the purchased retail product key. Even for the Family Basic edition, you can directly upgrade the retail product key of the flagship edition to the flagship edition.
By the way, there is no difference between Windows 7 Professional Edition applied through the startup pioneer program and Windows 7 Professional Edition for retail.
Next, let's talk about the use of windows anytime upgrade.
First, confirm your current version, right-click "computer", and select "properties ".
We can purchase and upgrade key packages through large domestic software dealers, such as federated software, Gome, and Suning.

Of course, if you want to change the computer in the future, this key authorization can also be transferred to the new computer, you need to directly purchase retail products, such as directly purchasing the flagship version of the retail product package.
For example, if the current system version is the home advanced version, you will get a key for both the upgrade package and the retail package. This key is used to upgrade the existing version to the flagship version.
