How can I downgrade my windows 7 Ultimate to windows 7 home premium?

I have installed Windows 7 ultimate on my new computer, but I do not have a product key for it. I would like to install Windows 7 home premium, I have a product key for W7 HP, but I am worried I will loose all of my programs! Is there any way to keep my
programs and boot with home premium? Thanks!

You can't install Windows without a valid product key in the first place.
If you've installed Windows, which didn't ask for a product key, you may be using a pirated copy of Windows.
But I appreciate your move to use your own license.
As v-yamliu says, yopu need to perform a clean install only.
To preserve the user settings and files (all programs may not work properly if copied, requiring reinstallation), you can use Windows Easy Transfer. Follow the links for reference:

  • How can I get the Windows 7 Home Premium download when I don't have a 'key'?

    Recently my laptop stopped working.  The Wi-Fi stopped working also.  My son tried to help by replacing the hard drive, but the screen says the Windows is not 'Genuine', and still no WiFi. can anyone make suggestions?
     Will  I need to get another hard drive?

    You should run a Genuine diagnostic and then post your results in the
    Windows Genuine Forums.  There may be a very easy technical fix to get you running again.  Please read the directions below first:
    MGA
    Diagnostic Report:
    To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
    Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.
    One
    Issue Per Thread:
    Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words, don't post
    your issue in another person's thread). 
    It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

  • Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp?

    Someone suggested to use
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp.
    Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM to use in bootcamp to install windows 7 on my mac book pro 13 inch?
    thank you.
    PS: i bought my macbook pro 3 weeks ago.
    Also, is there any other windows 7 installation CD that is cheaper?
    thank you.

    Yes.
    OEM just means that the Windows OS is dedicated to that computer only. If you sell, replace or throw away the computer you use it on, the Windows CD/DVD goes along with it. (According to the Licensing dialog)
    Just do a Yahoo/Google search for prices is the only way to find it cheaper. Or keep an eye on your favorite web store for sales.
    If you are in college and have an .edu e-mail account thru the college then Microsoft has it for about $30 US. And other deals also.

  • My Macbook can't read my Windows 7 Home Premium OEM SB disc.

    So, I got the Windows 7 Home Premium OEM System Builder Pack today, but my Macbook won't read it. It's a Macbook from 2010 with a 64 bit processor, as the DVD requires.
    I can hear it trying to boot the DVD up about 5 times before it gives up and spits it out again.

    maybe the dvd is damaged so the dvdreader can't read it?

  • Can't logon on Windows 7 Home Premium

    Tried to fix slowness, freezing up. Logged off, now get a message "the user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded".

    If the user profile can't be loaded, it's a system error, not a problem with Firefox. Unfortunately, if you can't log in, I don't know how you would fix this.
    Start by booting in safe mode and uninstalling Firefox if you feel that's the cause. Otherwise, also try using System Restore and see if that works.

  • Can you use a Windows 7 Home Premium CD twice for bootcamp?

    I currently have Windows 7 installed on my Mac Mini. Could I use the same install disk to make a new partition on an iMac that I will be getting? If not, is there a way to transfer over the partition, without copying the Mac partition as well?

    Windows 7 can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  • Windows 7 home Premium OEM - download

    Hello
    I wish to know if there is a way to download Windows 7 Home Premium OEM to a Notebook ThinkPad Y 570.
    (What I done before)
    I try ti recover the O.S. with One Key Recover and does not work.
    Then I downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium ISO installer and I format all the partitions of the notebook.
    But when I click to install Win7 a message saying that "windows cannot be installed on that partition" appears.
    Can I download a Windows 7 Home Premium OEM?

    Choose your version and use the s/n on the sticker of your computer (on the back or under the battery for laptops)
    Remember choose the version for which your computer is licensed.

  • Windows 7 Home premium corrupted

    I am using an HP Pavillion dv 6-6165 tx laptop.
    The windows 7 home premium Os got corrupted and I had to install a trial version of windows to start my laptop. I dont have the recovery discs also.
    Now what can I do so that I can start using the licensed version of the Windows that came with my laptop at the time of purchase?
    Thanks

    Yes, prathik. You can do it either way & it'll work.
    No manufacturer gives installation discs nowadays.
    If you want to restore to factory set OS settings, you can order recovery media from HP in your region.
    But if you're not covered under warranty, they'll charge you.
    Recovery media;

    Contact HP: https://h22207.www2.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-6165tx-Entertainment-Notebook-PC...
    Alternatively you can download, save this Windows 7 Home Premium x64 English ISO FILE on to another PC :

    (Size: 3,243,070KB, MD5 hash: da319b5826162829c436306bebea7f0f)
    Use ISO burning software like Imgburn & mount the ISO into a DVD or copy it to an empty USB.

    Note: Choose the lowest speed (x4, x8) while burning ISO into a DVD with ISO burning tool.

    Then plug in the USB and installation disc , boot from installation media, it'll start installing.
    The product activation key of Win 7 Home Premium x64 willl be printed in the COA label on the back of your laptop, ONLY IF YOU CAN LEGIBLY READ ALL THE 25 ALPHANUMERIC CHARACTERS clearly should you proceed with the download, installation.
