    I have Enterprise Evaluation, I want to upgrade to pro or enterprise. What do I exactly need to do to upgrade? 'cause I really don't get what s1ave77's instruction. Sorry :biggrin:

    Hello Tito, nice app. I just want to ask you if it supports to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to another edition. Thanks

    Hey Tito,

    thanks for the tool. I'm having a bunch of troubles though...
    I currently have an expired version of windows 8 enterprise x64 eval BUILD 9200 installed.
    After using your tool to change it to normal enterprise I started the /sources/setup.exe and then I pick win 8 enterprise x64.

    It goes checking for compatibility and then tells me it cant upgrade because I can't install a x64 on a x86. It also then tells me it's also not possible to install x86 on x64 which completely confuses me as I know this is a 64bit windows im running and I also am sure I picked the x64 package.

    I tried installing pro instead and trying its x68 and the enterprise x68 packs as well. He then tells me I have a x64 system and can't install x86....

    :wacko:

    Obviously I want/need a x64 to maintain the apps ive installed on the eval. I was just checking the x68 packages to see if there were any strange issues...

    please let me know if there's anything I can do to get around this!

    Yeah the eval is over. Which is why I need to change sides now :)
    I already rearmed the s**t out of it.

    I tried that german site before & now again...
    It spits out the same msg as earlier when trying to upgrade to 8 enterprise x64.
    This time only following the German instructions for the regedit entry, change for those two values and selecting 8 pro x64 instead.
    still no dice...:(

    Sorry for late reply.

    Have you used any kind of modified media or AIO??

    @s1ave77

    You can't update Enterprise Eval to non-eval through DISM; it is only applicable for Server builds.

    Obviously.

    Not yet but may be it needs some modifications for working under Windows 8.1.
