Quick question for the Windows Experts out there. A friend of mine had a PC running Win7 Pro and after having it serviced by a not so great tech got it back with Win7 Home Premium instead. Yes, that is odd and no, there is no recourse available at this time through the technician.
I'm trying to assist her in getting the PC back to Pro. Since Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available I wanted to know if I could just use a standard Professional key and pick the UPGRADE option during install to change her back over. My main concern is that I do not want to lose any data, reinstall any programs, reimage, etc. I haven't done an upgrade install in years and don't want to experiment on her PC If that is not a viable option, are there any other 'painless' alternatives to get back to Pro?
Thanks a lot guys!
