  1. A COA issue when changing from WIN10 home to WIN10 Pro


    In 2019 I purchased a laptop for my wife in Italy where I am /we are now domicile with WIN10 Home preinstalled.

I have therefore obtained a genuine WIN10 Pro English International edition from a Microsoft OEM system builder company in Germany to install the Pro version, prior to upgrading to WIN11 Pro. The Acer laptop is compatible with the WIN11 system. However, there is no 25 digit COA code provided, presumably as this is a WIN10
