    Install Windows 10 Pro on Windows 10 Home machine nonprofit


    Hello,

    I work for a small non-profit 501c3 community television station. We purchased a volume license key for Windows 10 Pro, and have been trying to upgrade some laptops we purchased last year with Windows 10 Pro. They currently have Windows 10 Home. I have downloaded the upgrade image onto a flash drive. I was successful in upgrading an older laptop that was running Windows 8.2, but the newer laptops with Windows 10 Home stay with that version of Windows 10 no matter what I seem to do. How do I activate Windows 10 Pro using our VLK?

    Thank you.

    Dale

    :)

    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.

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
