Your friend uses Windows 10 Pro while you have Windows 10 Home. Swapping your folder with theirs wouldn’t give you Pro—it wouldn’t change your system type. It might seem confusing, but it won’t actually work that way.

You're unable to do that, but you might be able to set up Windows 10 Pro without cost if he retains his product key.

You'd still require a Pro key to activate it. Operating system functionality extends beyond the files stored in the boot drive directory.

From some discussions online, it seems possible. Focusing on compliance matters more than legal labels—it’s about respecting the guidelines instead of worrying about laws.
