Windows 10: Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro using a business MS account

If a company purchases new computers that have Windows 10 Home editions, can the company purchase Pro upgrade using a business account?


It looks like an upgrade can only be done using personal MS accounts, but these are not 'personal' computers.


Does anyone know how to go about this?


Thanks in advance!

Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro using a business MS account

Hi Andre,

Thanks or the response.

By the below:

"An account cannot upgrade a Windows 10 Home installation to Pro."

You meant a 'business' account?

I know we can upgrade to Pro from the Store, but that requires a personal account right? Or can a business account log in to the Store (not the Business Store) and purchase an upgrade?

Yes we can purchase a VL key, but why not save if we can have an option to upgrade?

Thanks again.

Paul

If you upgrade your 7 install to 10, which is worth it IMHO, make sure you link to a Microsoft Account. Otherwise you might not be able to easily regain the key if they block using 7 keys in the future.

You don't need to use the Microsoft account as your profile on so you can still bypass logging in at setup and creating a local account. All you gotta do to link your 10 account to your MS install (if you choose not to use your MS account as your profile), is to simply do the following:

• Click Start
• Click Settings
• Click Update and Security
• Click Activation
• As or with Admin permissions, click Add Account
• Login with MS Account credentials.

Then you should see a message that reads:
