    after upgrade from home to pro what key does the registry return? home or pro?


    Hi, I purchased an upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro using the Microsoft Store online. The OS was successfully upgraded but not activated. How to activate?I confirmed my Microsoft online accounts were linked. I read the confirmation email for Windows 10 Pro from the Microsoft Store online. Oddly enough does not contain a product key.I presume the digital license was recognised to start the upgrade, maybe not. In a command prompt I ran 'wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey' A 25 key was returned. How do I confirm if this key is for Pro or the original Windows 10 Home

    :)
