Hello Dmoses,

I looked at the Drivers Page. 

Your unit was shipped with WES 7 Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7E (32-bit)

Now the one you are trying to update is Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7P (64-bit)

You will not be able to change WES 7E flavour to WES 7P  as both are different operating systems and require Product key to work due to microsoft limitations.

Its like you are upgrading win vista to win 7 on your laptop and both have different Product keys.

We will have to live with whats been shipped by the manufacturer when it comes to WINDOWS OS on Thin Clients

Preloaded with Windows, you will be able  install any linux Versions without any problems and not VICE VERSA

Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again !!

Thank you GBL84,

Is it possible to install WES 7P image with my Enterprise product key?

I can install it manually but I wish to install all sofware from this image.

TIA

Hello David,

Thank you for your reply !

 But we dont lose anything by trying . See if that works ! Possiblility is less.

We just have one option at the time of purchase to decide which OS that we want. As  I mentioned we will have to live with what's been preloaded Unfortunately . Or you may install linux based as its open source.
