    Switching from win10pro to win10home


    Hi, I uninstalled windows a few years back, decided to come back. I installed windows 10, and couldn't remember if I used pro or home so I took a gamble. Seems I was wrong. I'd like to activate my OS but I chose the wrong version, is there a way to revert to home from pro (without deleting all my data) ?

    Clean install of Win10Pro on machine previously running Win10Home

    Vijay,

    Unfortunately, that doesn't answer my question. My situation is slightly different - I had a Win10Home installation and purchased a new Win10Pro OEM key (not an upgrade). I would like to use that key to install Windows 10 Pro on the same machine by doing
    a fresh install - this is NOT an upgrade, and my understanding is that the key I purchased cannot be used for upgrading. So I need to know if I wipe out my current install of Win10Home and do a new, clean install with the Win10Pro key I purchased, will it
    work correctly?

    Thanks!

    Win10Pro transfer to new PC

    I bought a PC with Win7Pro already installed (the sticker refers to OEM). This was updated to Win10Pro. The motherboard on this PC has now died and I need to purchase another. Most come with Win10Home and I would wish to transfer the licence from the dead
    PC to the new one. Unfortunately, I do not have a Win10Pro licence key to hand (or access to it as the PC is dead). I do have the original disc and the key for the Win7Pro. I cannot find a straightforward answer as to whether I can upgrade a Win10Home installation
    to Win10Pro using the Win7Pro key. Please advise.

    Win10Home and Win10Pro

    When I click on the link " Advanced display settings"at DISPLAY in Settings, I only get this (top) Screenshot (39).png but not that supposed Screenshot (7).png
    (bottom). I need to have this Screenshot (7).png because I can adjust bold
    text and a lot more things I want and absolutely it has to be available in genuine Win10 and Win10Pro but it is not in my Win10 Pro. Anybody knows why? I already checked
    the genuineness of my OS. Philippe
