    How do I upgrade from Win 10 Home to Win 10 Pro, after upgrading from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 10 Home?

    I have a 4-computer home network. 3 are upgraded from Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro. The 4th is a Toshiba L775D-S7222 which upgraded from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 10 Home. All are 4 computers are Build 18362, which is apparently also called 1903.

    The 3 computers with Win 10 Pro can access the 2T Dynex HD hanging of a Netgear N900 Dual Ban Gigabit Router WNDR4500x2. The Toshiba can not.

    The issue has something to do with the inability of the Toshiba (Win 10 Home) not being able to map to the 2T Dynex in Windows Explorer. The weblink that arises states the SBM1 communications software is obsolete and that SBM2 or SBM3 is required.

    I have communicated with a local computer technician, who suggested upgrading to Windows 10 PRO for this machine because "there is better network support in Win 10 Pro".

    Is there some reasonable "incremental price" that I could pay to upgrade the existing Win 10 HOME to PRO? Or, is there a sofware fix to eliminate my problem that would permit me to continue using Win 10 HOME?

    Please suggestions & guidance on next steps will be much appreciated

    Thank you very much.

  3. How do I pay for an upgrade to Win 10 Pro when I'm only eligible for Win 10 Home

    I'm ready to upgrade to win 10 now - I'm eligible for the Win 10 Home version and have a valid retail license. I want to start right out with Win 10 Pro and do a clean install in one step. I know I can download the Win 10 Pro 64 bit .iso file. How do
    I pay for the $99 (?) upgrade from 10 Home to 10 Pro?

    Will i loose my personal files when i upgrade from win 10 home to win 10 pro?

    Win 10 boots...

    I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
    My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.
