Upgrade your system from Windows 10 Home to Pro version.
Upgrade your system from Windows 10 Home to Pro version.
Hi, I understand your situation. You're looking to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro on your laptop, but you're still using the original factory installation and don't want to reinstall. The seller mentions these keys come from HP, Dell, or Lenovo machines that are no longer repairable and are genuine. You're wondering if you can still buy the key and use it to upgrade via the Windows Store, since they say having a key allows upgrades.
It shouldn't be this way. Windows offers a built-in method to upgrade to Pro, either by purchasing it from the retailer or applying an existing key. This process modifies the current operating system instead of needing a full reinstall. https://www.howtogeek.com/234946/how-to-...fessional/
But why are you making this upgrade? It's only useful if you require 1TB of RAM and file encryption.
If that were the situation, I bet the seller would have many negative reviews, but over the past year his feedback was mostly positive—about 99% were good. The only negative comments came about a Windows 7 Ultimate Key, which makes sense since I already have Windows 10 and need Pro. Unfortunately, I won’t buy that item.
I moved up from home to pro by adjusting the settings. Just swap the key, and it handles the upgrade. No need to reinstall. Are you a student? If yes, you can obtain an upgrade key for free from Dreamspark—it's where I received mine.
