I have a laptop with Windows 7 Starter and a key for Windows 7 Home Premium. I'd like to upgrade the system to the Home Premium. When I try to use the Windows Anytime Upgrade, it informs me that "Windows Anytime Upgrade not available in this edition of Windows".

I'm confused because I thought this limitation shouldn't exist for laptops in the U.S. Is there a setting somewhere that is causing this error?

It may be trying to upgrade you to Win 8 64 bit, you would need 32 bit Win 8. You won't be able to upgrade to 7 as it isn't available to buy from Microsoft any more, only Win 8.1 is.

If you have already bought it, try a clean install.

This should help you out with any luck. Happy upgrading!
