Windows Anytime Upgrade Pricing
Thursday, August 6, 2009 at 8:42AM Microsoft has announced their Microsoft Anytime Upgrade and Family Pack Pricing. There are three version upgrades that are available.
Here is the basic pricing path from your various starting points to the more advanced versions of Windows 7.
| Upgrade to -> | Home Premium | Professional | Ultimate |
| Starter | $80 | $115 | $165 |
| Home Basic | $80 | – | $165 |
| Home Premium | – | $90 | $140 |
| Professional | – | – | $130 |
You will most likely come into contact with the starter edition of Windows 7 if you purchase a Netbook PC. The three main upgrades that I see that will have any significance will be taking the Starter Edition to either Home Premium or Professional and Home Premium to Professional. In most cases this will be the primary upgrade paths that most of you will be making.
Below is a chart that shows some of the main pricing differences between the versions put together by Paul Thurott and can be found on his Supersite for Windows here: Be sure to click through to this link to see a complete guide to the feature list comparing each version side by side.
