Windows 7 Professional has more features than Windows Premium. No performance degrading will occur. Drivers will not be a problems. Your laptop will be enhanced not harmed.

The smoothies way to accomplish what you want is to purchase a ANY TIME upgrade Professional Key. Staples and other locations sells them for $89.00. Click on Start and open the control panel, select anytime upgrade from the control panel, enter the Professional Product Key and set back. In ten or more minutes your system on the laptop will be changed to Professional, drivers and other needed changes will also be made.

Here are Microsofts upgrade instructions:
