Windows 10: Clean Upgrade from Windows 10 Home Chinese to Windows 10 Pro and a CLEAN Edge browser

Hello

I bought a laptop in China due to work's needs, which only came with Home edition Windows 10 in Chinese.

I wish to upgrade it to Pro, and at the same time, get rid of the annoying default pages in Edge and iE, which mostly direct to local commercial websites.


Would the experts in this forum kindly show the steps needed if it could be done via an 'Easy Upgrade'.


Thank you very much

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

 

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

As far as I am aware there is no Windows 10 Pro version.
But I'd be happy to be wrong.

Where exactly did you get this "windows pro" key from? If it's off eBay or something, then perhaps you've been sold a dud key. Also, it's not clear if you mean you bought windows 10 pro or an earlier version of windows as there's no such thing as "windows pro".

Do you have an Windows 7 or 8.1? If so, install that, download the ISO with the media creation tool and burn it to disc. Then run it as an upgrade. After that, the components hash of your PC will give you a digital entitlement for a clean install, so just bought off that disc, wipe the partitions and install it clean. It will auto activate over the internet once installed.
