Why does my “Windows 7 Ultimate” OS only upgrade to “Windows 10 Professional”?
I recently opted to upgrade my current 'Windows 7 Ultimate" to the free, "Windows 10" offering, and was dismayed to find that my previous "Ultimate" product version was only upgraded to a "Professional" version of the new "10" OS.
Is there no comparable variant for "Windows 10", or does MS want me to pay extra for a comparable version? It appears so: http://is.gd/pQwGZ7

- duncan_bayne 11y agoSeven editions, huh? Looks like Microsoft still hasn't learned from Apple ... (No Apple fanboy here, either - I run Linux and FreeBSD and wouldn't spend money on Apple products any more than Microsoft. But this - product range management - is something they clearly get Very Right).
