  1. Possible to upgrade this W10 Home laptop to Pro or Enterprise?


    I've been asked this by a friend, but I'm not familiar enough with 10 hardware to give him an answer.
    He's thinking of purchasing this laptop, but doesn't want 10 Home. It's an Acer Aspire 5 A515-54-749U Laptop 15.6". (The 749U may designate our NZ\AU market)
    The local merchant\product is here:Buy the Acer Aspire 5 A515-54-749U Laptop 15.6" FHD Intel i7-10510U 12GB 512GB... ( NX.HNDSA.00C ) online - PBTech.co.nz.
    Question: Is there a major impediment to upgrading from 10Home (ie, chipset\CPU limitation) on this or any other Home laptop,or is it just a matter of purchasing an upgrade key? Acer's driver website doesn't seem to offer drivers beyond 10 Home.

    :)

    W8.1 pro upgrades to W10 Home

    My laptop, running W8.1 pro was upgraded to W10, but the version is W10 Home. How can I revert back to W10 Pro? Why did it not upgrade to W10 Pro initially?

    W10 Home > Pro

    Question:

    right now I made a bootable USB for W10, off my current installation which is a W10 Home.

    Monday I'll use that on my new rig but I want to move to W10 Pro on that one. Is this possible with my bootable USB setup? My guess is that you just re-pick your version based on the activation code, amirite?

    Will I upgrade to W10 Pro or Home?


    Edit: I was able to upgrade to W10 Pro RTM and activate. The responses below that say this is not possible are wrong. Mentioned here also Build 10240: Did you get assigned a license/product key? : Windows10

    Hi, I have a laptop with OEM key in the BIOS which shipped with W8 Core and I installed W10 Pro TP Build 10162.

    Will I upgrade to W10 Pro? Or will I upgrade to W10 Home? Thanks.
