Upgrading from a non-genuine Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional

I bought a "copy" of Windows 7 Ultimate from overseas that turned out to not be genuine.

"Officially No - you can't ""downgrade"" as Ultimate is at the top of the chain.

If you really don't want to clean format there are work arounds, for example:

unawave.de

Update:

With the rush to upgrade Windows 7 RC due to it expiring in March 2010, there are some new guides that can help achieve a ""downgrade"", here is one on Icrontic."
