    Can I recover my lost free updated Windows 10 Pro?


    I followed the instructions from your link but I can not enter the "go to store" page. The page display an error message 0x80131500. But from my USB stick I suppose the installer will clean only the unit C, won't it?

    You can try changing the product key to enter the generic key instead.

    Don't do this option. It will wipe everything.

    Yes, or most likely end up having to clean install.

    I've solved my problem and it was very easy. Let me show what I did. Be careful to make a backup of your personal files before the first step. In my case I didn't do that because my personal files were in another partition (unit D) out of Windows Home partition (unit C).

    1.- In Windows 10 Home I double clicked the setup file (from a bootable USB Windows 10 Pro installer).

    2.- I entered the generic product key (It is necessary to have an internet connection for on line confirmation). After the approval click next and follow the instructions. That's it.

    Note: The installer only accept the option of cleaning everything, but only affected the Windows 10 Home partition.

    My deepest thanks to everyone specially to Brink, navyLCDR and Alphanumeric.
