Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro
Windows 10 is available in several different editions, the most well-known being the Home and Professional editions. The vast majority of computers sold in the market are equipped with Windows 10 Home, while Windows 10 Professional is installed on computers intended for professionals and businesses.
computers with the home version have the product key built-in in the bios, so even if you try to reinstall windows 10 pro with a USB thumb drive, this integrated product key always forces windows 10 home to be installed automatically without giving you the choice to choose the version you want, then the easiest solution is to upgrade to the pro version from the System Settings.
The process of upgrading from Windows 10 Home to Professional is done simply, without loss of data: all your applications, settings, and personal files are preserved during the migration to Windows 10 Professional.
Step 1: Buy Windows 10 Pro Product Key :
The product key can be purchased from a third-party seller, it can be sftkey.com or any other legitimate seller, and the key costs between $99 and $20.
You can still use a generic Windows 10 Pro key for free, which can only upgrade to the Pro edition without activation, but this will be enough to make sure the upgrade process works before you buy a new key and find out that your computer cannot be upgraded
According to Microsoft, they are the steps to follow:
- Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Activation.
- Under Upgrade your edition of Windows, select Change product key.
- Enter the 25-character Windows 10 Pro product key.
- Select Next to start the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro
