    I have a version of 7 Ultimate I would like to make a legitimate "professional" version, since I have a valid Professional Key.

    Do they experts here think it would work to do the following:

    1) in the registry go to local_machine -> software -> microsoft -> windows nt -> currentversion. Replace "Ultimate" in EditionID and ProductName with "Home Premium"

    2) run WAU and use the Professional key.

    Will this work ok, or cause problems.

    Thanks
