ruthan Posted yesterday at 01:13 PM Posted yesterday at 01:13 PM (edited) Hi, im trying to upgrade upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my laptop on GPT disk, but even i run installer upgrade option with keeping installed programs is not available, only keep files,. Im running upgrade from running OS. I read that problem could be with languages, i checked registry there is InstallLanguage key - 0409 - which should be US english, so i tried US english and Internal English ISO, no luck. There is also some key cooled previousInstalled language which has value 0405 (czech), im not really sure if originaly installed OS in Czech, or it was upgraded from Czech Vista, I have tried to change value from 0405 to 0409, but no luck.. So i tired Czech Windows 10 ISO again no luck. Maybe i need to delete that Previous install key. I also installed other WIndows 7 OS on same disk which i want to keep and clean Windows 10, they also Linux partition and some Dell support parttions - backup, i hope that are not conflicts.

ruthan Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Ok i found that there is message at the bottom: Your files, apps and settings cant be kept because you are installing an edition of Windows that is different than the one youre currently using. Problem is that i dont understand why, what is so special on my edition? I have WIndows 7 SP1 64 bit activated, updated.. i had PRO edition, use Anywhere update to push it to Ultimate edition, but i still see this message. I dont think that problem is language version, because we i use difference language edition message is different and post to language. I used WIndows 10 media creation tool, which i hoped would be clever enough to created the right version to upgrade, i also tried to donwload some WIndows 10 iso files from the internet, or MS side by using Blueberry client trick but i still have this problem I there any tool to get more info about installed OS version than Winver, or why its not compatible? Update: I found out that strictly PRO iso 1607 is working, but not newer.. some universal iso or consumer iso, simply does not working. 1703 info still have Pro 64bit version, which is working too, but later consumers iso are not working.. I wonder do i need business version of iso to upgrade? I found some ISO archive here: https://files.rg-adguard.net/version/f0bd8307-d897-ef77-dbd6-216fefbe94c5 Edited 12 minutes ago by ruthan
