Windows 10 Upgrade - Lost power, computer stuck

I have tried the above steps, but my computer does nothing when I press the windows key and the X

Thanks. That solved that. I thought you had to load up each country as you needed it.

 

No, you can't upgrade to Pro for free. To upgrade, you would need to purchase a Pro license: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12384/windows-10-upgrading-home-to-pro
Pro has a few more bells and whistles for Work environments. There is no real advantage to using Pro for a normal Home user: Compare Windows 10 Editions & Versions | Home & Pro

 

Hi,
Nope for additional 120.us you can do an inplace upgrade to 10 pro though from the MS store.

 

Thank you all very much,i was hoping i could use one of the activation codes from my other installs but that looks by the by....but thanks for your responses


Many thanks

 

What features do you need in Pro that are not in the Home Edition ?

 

Being upgrades from 7 Ultimate they'd all have been given the generic 10 Pro key, the one ending in -3V66T

I think ozzie just wants the new machine to be exactly the same as the other four as far as Settings is concerned - makes life easier not having to learn the differences *Smile
