windows 7 professional upgrade retail help

Hi

I have got a few machines that need to be on Windows 7 Pro

I have got them on Windows 7 Home prem at the moment.

I have just gone out and bought Windows 7 Pro Upgrade Retail. I have tried to use the keys using Any time upgrade but it wont let me. Do i need to buy Windows 7 Pro Anytime upgrade keys or should my product keys work?

Thanks
Dave

I think you need new licenses. Anytime only works with Anytime keys so you would need to go out and buy enough Windows 7 Professional keys.

Or you can buy Upgrade or Full Windows 8 Pro licenses...

You will have to run the setup from the DVD.

running the set up from the DVD will that let me upgrade? not lose any data/programs

Providing it is the retail upgrade yes.
