    hi guys I need your help, I have win10 home on my pc, but I want to install win10 pro on my pc by using same win10 home key for Activation win10 pro.

    Is that same key can I use for Win10 Pro Activation, which I have for win10 Home, please let me know.

    The reason of make a decession to intall win10 pro is, because I am unable to Disable Win10 Home from last 2 years, I tried all the things still win10 home keep on Updating by itself.

    I tried like this things :
    1--I disable Win10 Home in Services ---- still updating win10 home
    2--I tried to set Metered connection ---- still updating win10 home

    and I tried many different things, still updating win10 home.

    I you know any 3rd party software which will disable win10 home permanently, I will try that software.
    or
    can you let me know, can I install win10 pro on win10 home pc by using same key of win10 home for Activation and Win10 pro must get Genuine.

    Hopefully waiting for your reply.


    Thanks

    How to use Win8 Pro key for Win10 Pro upgrade?

    i have a Win7 Home laptop, which was automatically updated to Win10 Home by Microsoft push. I had purchased a Win8 Pro key earlier but I had not updated my laptop to Win8 Pro before Microsoft's auto update. By default Microsoft installed Win10 Home. Now
    I am not able to upgrade Win10 Home to Win10 Pro as the Activation screen keeps on telling me that the Win8 Pro key is not valid for Win10 Home.

    How can I upgrade my laptop to Win10 Pro using my Win8 Pro key and not needing to purchase a separate Win10 Pro key?

    Windows 10 home to Windows 10 pro to clean install of Windows 10 pro

    Hello, all.

    This PC came with Win10 Home. I bought the Win10 pro upgrade for $99 from the Windows store, and install it. At that point Win10 pro was installed and activated.

    How do I now do a clean install of this Win10 pro (from Win10 home) upgrade?

    Thanks.

    (P.S. I tried a clean install from a Win10 pro iso. usb, but after this install the PC showed Win10 home again)

  7. The only guaranteed way to stop Windows Update, is to disconnect the computer from the internet. That means Physically !

    Hi,
    Even 10 pro can only delay updates although there are methods to delay further with third party
    10 home is no doubt a sad joke of a version

    You always reinstall a system image before the upgrade to 10 happened if you have one
    Or clean install 7 or 8 if you didn't make a system image

    If this is a new computer that came with 10 home the pro upgrade will get you a little closer easier but for 120.us

    type services.msc in search, scroll down to Windows Update, right click and select properties, disable... then in settings, update and security, set to metered connection.
