Upgrade OEM Windows 7 Pro to Windows 7 Enterprise

Upgrade OEM Windows 7 Pro to Windows 7 Enterprise Our hardware vendor has sold us a laptop that comes with Windows 7 Pro OEM. Since we want Windows 7 Enterprise (for features like DirectAccess and BitLocker), the vendor has supplied us with a Software Assurance only license to upgrade OEM Win 7 Pro to Win 7 Ent.

"You will need to do a fresh install (or possibly an upgrade if you wish).

Enterprise is not an edition that is commonly available in shops to the general public and is not covered by anytime upgrade (where you can upgrade editions easily)."

"There are various 'Chart's which indicate what's possible. Microsoft's Chart maybe the best

If in doubt I would phone Microsoft Support.

One other thought there is a Windows Anytime Upgrade, but that would like involve extra cost."
