Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

Windows 7 Professional includes the Home Premium features you love and the business features your work demands. Connect to company networks easily and more securely and share files across the various PCs in your home.



Running Windows Vista? If you have Windows Vista, you can purchase Windows 7 Upgrade versions. You can do a clean install (back up your files, clean install, and reinstall your applications) or an in-place upgrade (Windows 7 installs over Windows Vista).

Running earlier versions? If you have Windows XP, you can purchase Windows 7 Upgrade versions. But you must back up your files, clean install, and reinstall your applications.

If you’re running Windows 2000, you’ll need to purchase the full product and do a clean install.


Features

Save time and money resolving IT issues: Take advantage of the powerful diagnostics and troubleshooters built into Action Center to resolve many computer problems on your own.

Interact with any compatible device connected to your computer: See device pictures and status and run common tasks from a single window. Connect multiple PCs, with or without a server: Use Domain Join to connect PCs quickly and more securely to your wired or wireless domain network.
