    Attempt to upgrade from W10 Home to W10 Pro failure


    But not in the usual way - the Store would not accept the digital license for the W10 Pro I had purchased to do the upgrade - it offered me W10 Home again. So I tried using a physical disc for W10 Pro and it started fine and went online to collect update files to install. Right before the install was to start, the system stopped to verify my upgrade to W10 Home - from a physical Pro disc. No where could I find an option offering an upgrade to Pro. What gives?

    :)

    W8.1 pro upgrades to W10 Home

    My laptop, running W8.1 pro was upgraded to W10, but the version is W10 Home. How can I revert back to W10 Pro? Why did it not upgrade to W10 Pro initially?

    W10 activation and motherboard failure.

    Hey, wasn't sure what section to put this in.

    Motherboard died yesterday, managed to source a replacement but I believe I am correct in thinking that once I swap the board W10 will deactivate itself and demand I buy a new copy?

    If so, would I be able to get around this by booting the system with a spare HDD, installing W7/8, upgrading to W10, then connecting the original drive (so the MB has been used/activated with W10)?

    Thanks.

    HP Laserjet 1606dn cannot create test page after W10 pro upgrade

    Thanks for the suggestions. Did not work, even after repeated attempts.

    I upgraded to W10 64 Pro from W7 64 Pro.

    My new W10 said it was not able to migrate the HP 1606dn printer.

    Please investigate whether this printer is actually supported by W10. I suspect it is not.

    Also, please investigate other possible changes to the registry. I am competent to back up the registry before doing your suggested solutions.

    Thanks again for your help.
