Do you have a lower version of windows 7 in your computer that comes pre installed such as Starter and Home Basic?
Well, it is not so cool to have those versions..
Want to upgrade without formating? Then read below:

Windows Anytime Upgrade

The Windows 7 version of Windows Anytime Upgrade introduced many improvements, notably the upgrade time has been reduced to around 10 to 20 minutes, and upgrade license keys can be purchased at retail.

The benefit of WAU is that if one decides that one wants Windows Media Center, Aero, or Windows Fax and Scan out of a computer that currently runs the Home Basic edition, one could complete the upgrade without needing to acquire a different installation disk and without requiring a reinstall of Windows.

Note: Before doing this I suggest you to unplug completely your pc/laptop from internet connection. If you're using wifi, disable it and don't allow it to connect automatically. Why? Because I'll be providing upgrade keys that are leaked and I'm not the owner of those keys(might be hunted by microsoft). I'll be only sharing the keys, so credits goes to those who shared it first and posted it in the internet.
Please make sure your computer is in good condition for the process to work flawlessly.
Ensure that if you're using a laptop it is connected to an electric outlet.
Try at your own Risk if you'll be using the keys uploaded!

Activation could go wrong when using the keys, it is because your windows has been updated and installed KB971033 from windows update..
