    Title says it all.I got a computer from Dell that came with Windows 10 Home. And while I'd be happy to nuke, install Win10 Pro from installation media, and then activate Win10 Enterprise with my own E5 key, there's got to be a simpler way to go from Home to Enterprise without a complete reinstallation.Is there a way to get Home to Pro without me having to install Windows 10 Pro from installation media fresh the only way to install without a license key it seems? so that I can then login with my MS365 account and get my E5 Enterprise activation to work?Thomas

    :)

  2. Upgrade Win10Home to Pro on new disk

    In June I bought and installed the Win10 Home to Win10 Pro upgrade. Last week that hard disk failed and has been replaced under venor warranty, but of course it came with Win10 Home. Do I have to pay another $99 to upgrade this version to Pro or is there
    a way I can do it using the previous purchase?

  3. $99 Win10 Pro upgrade transfer possible?

    I have a 3 year old Lenovo laptop that came with Windows 10 Home preinstalled, about 6 months ago I purchased the $99 Pro upgrade and now the laptop has died. I believe the digital license is tied to my microsoft account. Can I install Win10 Pro on my
    new laptop (with Win10 Home OEM) and activate using my microsoft account?
