Upgrading from Lower version of Windows 7 to Enterprise

This steps are for Home Premium to Enterprise. Have not had the opportunity to try from Windows Starter Edition. Will update post once that is successfully tested:-


Upgrading from Home Premium is possible, just make the following registry changes:

Under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion modify the following keys:

  • EditionID from “HomePremium” to “Enterprise”.
  • ProductName from “Windows 7 HomePremium” to “Enterprise”.
