  1. Upgraded from WIN 10 Home to Pro, Media Creation Tools just installs Home


    When I purchased my laptop, I paid for a windows 10 pro upgrade. I used media creation tool to do a reinstall, but it only installs home. In the Microsoft store, I am unable to download. When you call it forces you online. When you go online support, it says it should just work. How do I use the upgrade I paid for on the same PC? I have tired everything with no luck. I suspect that the reason is that I replaced with a larger SSD drive when I completed the reinstall.Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Media Creation Tool


    I got bored waiting for my 10 Pro upgrade message so I am using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to play around with installing Windows 10 Pro.

    I chose the Upgrade Now option instead of creating media.

    (step 3) https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...tallation.html

    There were lots of different windows up till now.
    So I started screenshots now.
    Screenshot-

    It offers this now-

    This seems to imply that installed programs will be lost-

    If I lose installed programs I will use my Macrium image to revert to 8.1 Pro.
    Be back after installing 10 or reverting.

    Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 PRO

    Where can I find a Media Creation Tool that will create Windows 10 Pro media?

    The current media creation tool available here:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    creates a Windows 10 Home install on my laptop.

    The only reason I can think of for this behavior is that there is a Windows 8.1 Home SLIC entry in the BIOS, and it is assuming that "Home" is therefore the correct version to install. However I was running Windows 8.1 Pro (purchased separately from the
    laptop) and successfully did an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 Pro before running into software problems caused by the in-place upgrade.

    Bottom line - where can I find Windows 10 Pro installation media? The in-place install doesn't work for me and the current Media Creation Tool creates media that incorrectly installs Windows 10 Home.
