Home › Forums › Operating Systems › Windows 7 › How to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Professional
Hey guys,
i purchased an NB30 with Windows 7 Starter installed.
I own a valid copy of Windows 7 Professional.
Can i upgrade somehow to the Pro Version without reinstalling 7 via USB or anyhow?
There is the Windows Anytime Upgrade Option. But an Upgrade-Key is required 🙁
Hope you can help me 🙂
cheers
To be honest with you, you would be better off doing a clean install of Win 7 Pro. Even if you delete all the crapware there will still be remnents left in the registry etc. I recently bought an N150 and the first thing I did was put on a clean version of Win 7 Pro. It took a couple of hours but was well worth it:)
really?
Samsung doesnt really bumb the system up with software.
I havent a clue how to install 7 via usb-device.
I’d rather upgrade from existing 7 starter.
Another Problem is, that i cannot access the samsung support-site to download the drivers 😀

Wouldn’t know about upgrading to 7 Pro, but I did an upgrade from starter to Home Premium having bought the necessary key at a computer shop. It worked like a breeze, less than 10 minutes, and have been working without any problems at all. Even with all the – what many people call – crapware (sorry, but most of it I personally find quite useful tools). Hope you’ll find a solution that works for you.
Mostly the Samsung netbooks are pretty free of rubbish, like samchess says, most of it is useful – although it does vary between models as far as I can tell.
There should be a few articles in this forum area that will get you going, or else a more general Web search might help as this won’t be a model specific question.
Let us know how you get it done!
