  1. Cannot upgrade W10 Home to Pro


    Hello, I got a refurbished laptop with Win 10 Home and wanted to upgrade it to Pro. I purchased an OEM license and could try to activate it, but I get 0xC004F090 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run ...

    I tried to use a generic [COLOR=rgba51, 51, 51, 1]VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T [/COLOR]but it doesn't let me. Any ideas what I should do to upgrade it to Pro?

    :)

    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?

    why there is just one way to upgrade from W10 Home to W10 Pro?

    You can purchase a full license key, but keep in mind, the full retail license for Windows 10 Pro is more expensive than the $99 upgrade through the Store.

    Step 1: Purchase license for Windows 10 Pro, then receive your key:

    Buy Windows 10 Home/Pro

    Step 2: Perform an Easy Upgrade using the key:
