A Look at the Anytime Upgrade Process - Windows Team Blog
In addition to pricing information for Windows Anytime Upgrade, Brandon Leblanc gave a quick tutorial of how the process works. Check it out here
Back in April, I took a look at the Anytime Upgrade process and I must say I was most impressed by how quick and simple the entire process is. Here is an excerpt from that article:
The amazing thing about Anytime Upgrade is how quick and simple the process is, Microsoft estimates at least 10 minutes in comparison to Vista’s 30 minute or more process. Based on my trial, it was at least 7 minutes, some persons have even reported at least 5 mins for Anytime Upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate.
If you are running supported SKU’s such as Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium or even Professional, you will have the option of upgrading to a higher SKU. Microsoft has made each of the SKU’s a subset of features, so a user can do an Anytime Upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional, unlike Vista which only allowed Anytime Upgrades from certain SKU’s:
Vista Home Basic – Home Premium or Ultimate
Vista Business – UltimateAll that has changed, if you want to move from Home Premium to Professional, you will have that option. No need to reinstall your applications or backup your personal data.
