    Is the Home version just Pro with fewer features?


    Is Windows 10 Home just Windows 10 Pro with some features disabled? So, for example, if I go to change the product key and enter a Pro key, will it be converted or would I have to go through installation again?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Windows 10 Help before purchase.

    So I know there is Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro. I'm thinking of buying the Pro version and have found an activation key on Amazon. I'm just wonder if I need home to get the pro version or not.

    Installing Windows 10 Home over Pro

    Hi,

    I just bought a new PC that came with a non-activated version of Windows 10 Pro. I actually own a product key for Windows 10 Home, but the Media Creation Tool does not let me choose to do a Home clean install, just Pro.

    There is any way I could downgrade from Pro to Home or install a clean Home version without using the Media Creation Tool?

    Is the Home version just Pro with fewer features?

    You just enter the new key. No need for a reinstall

    You have to install Pro version again. You can use an upgrade to keep all installed software and documents.
