You’ll need to reinstall any programs using the original installation discs or files. You can choose to install a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium instead, but this is different from an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings and programs. Windows 7 Ultimate cannot be upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. If user attempts to perform an in-place upgrade to downgrade to lesser edition of Windows 7, an error similar to below will be displayed at compatibility report: Upgrade is only possible one-way from the lower edition to higher edition of Windows 7, and not the other way round. Starter -> Home Basic -> Home Premium -> Professional -> Ultimate Windows 7 SKUs or editions have a hierarchy as below: For example, it’s impossible to downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise, or from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Home Premium or Home Basic. Like I said, they will help you get everything right.Windows 7 does not allow users to “downgrade” or convert from a more premium and more expensive edition to down-level, more basic and less expensive edition. But the fact you replaced the other guy, calls into question and may possibly answer as to why you replaced whom you did when getting your job to start with. Enterprise editions pay for the luxury of upgrading to 10 for their usage, or pay just for W10 with their arraignment. You need to first install your licensed software, for which you claim to have onto the laptops. Perhaps they are not legal (I do not know), and now, essentially, you are asking MS to give you a free upgrade to currently unlicensed software. Then you may get the free windows 10 upgrade, if you're verified, validated and have all your ducks in a row, as you say.īut as it is now, you have enterprise license, UNABLE TO VALIDATE- since you're not part of the internal server to validate and verify the licensing.
They want their fair share and do make certain you are appropriately licensed. In fact, if you happen not to have the appropriate licenses for them, they will more than likely make an appearance in person, to expedite service for you. Operating the OS without license is considered a no no, plain and simple.Ĭall Microsoft directly, and give them your full name, address, phone number, email and any other information they ask. However, you do not own the licenses to operate your laptops with Enterprise. We are trying to correct this will most likely have to do the fresh install of pro then upgrade to 10.It's nice to think that you do own licenses, and perhaps you very well do indeed. We own licences just pro licences not enterprise. Best of my knowledge there is no way around that for you. "Prior to me being at this company the old admin used enterprise when we did not even own keys for it"
