Windows 10: How can I install Windows 10 Pro from windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB

Hi AddRam,

Thanks for your interest to know the result. Actually was a bit busy to reply.. Yes I've installed the program ( win 10 pro) but i am facing problem to start the laptop. once I press the start button the 1st screen

comes and hanged until i press esc button and then 2nd screen comes

and hanged until i press esc button, and it seems it becomes very slow than earlier times. I've attached both pic for your easy ref.

Would you pls advise what's the problem and why its happening..

Also on the installation process I saw Win 10 Pro N version. what is this version and is it better than pro ?

Looking for your help. Thanks

 

Hi,
On first powering up just use the F2 to enter bios
It should show a Boot menu key to use for all disks connected
Select the disk with the os and hit the enter key.

You should of installed simply 10 Pro.

 

Hi Thrash,

I'm not clear.. you meant to say I need to attach the flash drive (installation disk) again.. on the boot menu I didn't see anything you mention up.. Pls describe in details pls..

 

N and KN have features removed stripped out. They are a lesser version of 10 Pro. They also require their own special keys to activate. Not what you want.

 

Hi,
As mentioned simply win-10 pro should of been installed so yeah reconnect the installation media and boot to it and reinstall selecting just 10 pro if it's an option.

 

When you did your last install of 10 Pro, did you do a clean install? As in, did you remove/delete all partitions so the drive had no OS on it? Or did you just install to the existing install? Also, did you do a legacy install or UEFI install? If that laptop has a legacy BIOS (its not UEFI) ignore that last question.
Personally I would follow this, Clean Install Windows 10 use the Custom option, delete all partitions, then install into the unallocated space. IMHO it has the best chance for a successful install, from where you are now. I'm assuming you have anything you want saved backed up to external media. Deleting all partitions is going to erase everything on the drive.

 

Hi,

I installed win 10 pro. Do u mean after delete all partition I need to install the windows and after installation I should make the new partitions ???

 

Hi,
You were having issues booting to the past install I was suggesting pulling up the boot menu from inside the bios F2 to enter bios
Boot menu could be F8 or simply the Delete key machines are different you'd have to say what it actually is
Then select the os disk.

Creating partitions well first you'd have to be able to startup and actually get into the current os before that can happen *Smile

 

Hi,

I havn't issue while booting.. after installation to start the windows I'm having problem. Its taking too long and in between I need to press Esc button twice to come the screen lock screen.


Creating partitions well first you'd have to be able to startup and actually get into the current os before that can happen

== not clear to me. Should I install the windows and the I should create the new partition or on the installation process I should delete all partitions and then create new partitions and installation.. pls confirm clearly

 

Yes you have to delete all partitions to unallocated space, then click next.

Hi AddRam,

Yes I didn't follow above u described.
later how can I create the partitions pls advise..

 

Hi,
Partitions are easy
Personally I use free mini tool

Yes you install Partition Wizard AFTER you install windows.

Now let`s get Windows 10 installed.

You have a 250 GB hard drive, you`re not gonna make any more partitions out of that, it`s too small.

Just install windows and report back when you are done *Smile

 

Hi All,

Thanks you guys, now I'm going to install again and hope this time it will work without having issues.. I will let you know the updates once done.. thanks

 

Hi,
Last I installed 10 or checked it was only about 35-40gb's *Smile
