Here's what you need to do:
To upgrade from one edition of Windows 7 to another edition of Windows 7, use Windows Anytime Upgrade. On your PC, open Windows Anytime Upgrade by clicking the Start button, typing Windows Anytime Upgrade in the search box, and then clicking Windows Anytime Upgrade in the list of results. You will be presented with a screen offering 2 options, one of them suggesting you have a valid Windows Anytime Upgrade key. Once the key has been copied into the appropriate field, it will be verified by MS and the upgrade process will take place.
The whole process actually doesn't last longer than 10 minutes, your computer will reboot once or twice. Upon restart, you will notice it now runs a genuine higher version of Windows 7.
