Explanation
In-place upgrades to Windows 7 Professional x64 require two conditions to be met simultaneously: the source OS must be the same CPU architecture (x64) and the edition must be equal to or lower than the target. Windows 7 Home Premium x64 satisfies both-it is x64 and is a lower edition than Professional, making it a valid in-place upgrade path. Windows Vista Professional x86 is disqualified by architecture mismatch (x86 cannot in-place upgrade to x64). Windows 7 Enterprise x64 is a higher edition and cannot be downgraded via in-place upgrade. Windows 7 Starter x86 fails on architecture.
