    We are in a habit of buying Windows Home Edition computers and then buying the Pro upgrade. Could be a management hassle after a few laptops need to be set back to factory image.

    Has anyone done this?

    I did look for a previous answer. Unfortunately the terms I search for are so general I cannot find a good match, so here we are. Definitely point me to an existing thread!

  2. After MS Store Pro edition upgrade, how easy would it be to restore the upgrade from Home Edition after a recovery?

    Elise, thanks for the quick reply.

    I read the article and it doesn't specifically say that the edition is going to be restored, but I think because App store purchases are restored we can assume the App store purchase of Pro will come back. Is that about right?

    For anyone browsing discussions on this, Elise's advice seems sound and I finally stumbled upon another thread about it

  3. why there is just one way to upgrade from W10 Home to W10 Pro?

    You can purchase a full license key, but keep in mind, the full retail license for Windows 10 Pro is more expensive than the $99 upgrade through the Store.

    Step 1: Purchase license for Windows 10 Pro, then receive your key:

    Buy Windows 10 Home/Pro

    Step 2: Perform an Easy Upgrade using the key:

    What happens if I upgrade to Pro edition of Windows 10?

    If you upgrade through either the Windows Store or use an existing Windows 10 Pro key with the Easy Upgrade wizard, your personal files will be preserved.

    Store:

    Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation > Go to store

    Click the $99 button to make your purchase

    Follow the on screen instructions

    Your system will be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro within 5 to 10 minutes, applications, personal files and settings preserved.

    Using an existing key:
