Windows 10: Upgrade windows 10 home edition to windows pro

Hi,


My employer have assigned me a product key of windows 10 Pro edition to upgrade my laptop from windows 10 home edition to windows 10 pro. However I am getting below error while trying to do so.


Error Message: The Product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one. 0x800f0805


I have already tried some tricks from internet to resolve above issue, like executing below command from command prompt as administrator


dism /online /get-targeteditions


this command shows the editions that current machine can be upgraded to. However in my case I am getting below error:


Editions that can be upgraded to:



Error: 0x800f0805



The Windows edition was not detected.

Check that the specified image is a valid Windows operating system image.


Then I tried to set edition of windows operating system using below command


DISM /online /Set-Editionro /ProductKey:<product-key-of-pro-version> /AcceptEula


however above command gave me below error:


Error: 50



Setting an edition is not supported with online images.


Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

:)

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.
