Since WAU is no longer supported by MS and I have apps that only work on Win7,
I need to upgrade to Win7 Professional with FQC--00130. Is that possible or is that upgrade product only for XP and Vista? I do not want a full version of Win7 PRO because I do not want to lose my apps.

Windows Anytime Upgrade lets you go from a version of Windows to another, so the 7 Pro upgrade may work on the Home version. Issue may be that it's an OEM setup and you may get an "unsupported" error unless you do the Anytime Upgrade instead of the retail box.
