    How do I upgrade from Win 10 Home to Win 10 Pro, after upgrading from Win 7 Home Premium to...


    I have a 4-computer home network. 3 are upgraded from Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro. The 4th is a Toshiba L775D-S7222 which upgraded from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 10 Home. All are 4 computers are Build 18362, which is apparently also called 1903.


    The 3 computers with Win 10 Pro can access the 2T Dynex HD hanging of a Netgear N900 Dual Ban Gigabit Router WNDR4500x2. The Toshiba can not.


    The issue has something to do with the inability of the Toshiba Win 10 Home not being able to map to the 2T Dynex in Windows Explorer. The weblink that arises states the SBM1 communications software is obsolete and that SBM2 or SBM3 is required.


    I have communicated with a local computer technician, who suggested upgrading to Windows 10 PRO for this machine because "there is better network support in Win 10 Pro".


    Is there some reasonable "incremental price" that I could pay to upgrade the existing Win 10 HOME to PRO? Or, is there a sofware fix to eliminate my problem that would permit me to continue using Win 10 HOME?


    Please suggestions & guidance on next steps will be much appreciated


    Thank you very much.

  2. Windows 7 Home Premium to Win 10 Pro

    Currently running Windows 7 Home Premium. Although 90%+ use is business the version was selected for Media Center. With WMC going away I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro rather than home. I understand the "Free" upgrade from Win 7 Home Premium is
    to Win 10 Home. Is there a path to Win 10 Pro? Free or otherwise.

    Upgrade Win 10 Home to Win 10 Pro with Win 7 Upgrade Key

    I have a new computer with Win 10 Home installed (digital license, already activated by manufacturer, works fine). Can I upgrade to Win 10 Pro with a Win 7 Pro upgrade license? The license I have for Win 7 Pro is an upgrade version purchased from Microsoft
    (not a full install version). Additionally, the Win 7 Pro upgrade license has been previously used on a computer that has not existed for about 3 years now. If this is not possible, can I use a Win 7 Pro upgrade (not full install) license (purchased from Microsoft)
    that has NEVER been used? Thanks.

    Upgrade from Win 7 Home Premium

    I Just found your site - amazing!

    Planning to upgrade to Win 10 from Win 7 Home Premium. All the chat talks about Win 7 Pro and Win 10 Pro. Will the procedures be the same for my upgrade? I do have my Win 7 Product Key.
