Microsoft expands update options for Windows 7

Windows 7 users will have option to move to Premium and Ultimate editions after purchase.

Microsoft is planning to give users further upgrading options with Windows 7.

The company said that it would be equipping the upcoming version of its flagship operating system with a new "Anytime Upgrade" option. The feature will allow users to move from entry-level editions of Windows 7 to premium packages.

The aim of the programme, said Microsoft, is to allow users the option of purchasing the Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 without needing to run a complete reinstall.

The company said that the new policy was designed to allow easy updates for users who purchase the entry-level versions of Windows 7 and then want to add the additional features of the higher-priced versions of the operating system.

Under the Anytime Upgrade plan, users will have the option to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to the Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate versions.

Users of the Home Premium and Professional versions will be offered similar updates for the higher editions.
