    I may just do a full fresh Win 10 install instead of upgrading from 7 since the online upgrade has repeatedly failed. I have noticed though that many people have posted that Product ID 00359-OEM-8992687-00249 the ID on his computer is an unauthorized version of Windows even though we purchased the computer with Windows 7 on it from Best Buy. Could this product ID status or the fact that it's OEM be part of the problem with the online update?

    Windows 7 Home Premium -> Professional Upgrade

    Sorry for posting in this "old" topic but I also have a question regarding this problem:
    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Version 32 bit and I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. The Home Premium was not a OEM version and now I wanted to buy a OEM Windows 7 Pro version which costs 30€. Is it possible to upgrade a non OEM version with a OEM version or is this not working?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hope this is not against the rules. If you do a clean install of Windows 10, it may, (has for me) accept a Win 7 OEM key and activate.
