  1. Updating Windows 10 home to Windows 10 pro.


    Hi,


    I have some old Windows 7 Pro machines that I have dusted off. One of them I have upgraded to Windows 10 Pro without any issue. The other I am said to say has gone to silicone heaven. This has left me with a product key for Windows 7 Pro that I am no longer using..


    I also have a Windows 10 home laptop. How do I use the the Windows 7 Pro product key to upgrade my laptop to Windows 10?


    Thank you.


    Kind regards


    Mike

    :)

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

    And, some info from the FAQ page:

    Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

    Updating Windows 10 home to Windows 10 pro.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
