    Win 10 Pro?


    I upgraded from Windows 7 Pro on my Gateway, and of course it now has Windows 10 Pro.

    Obviously you are mistaken and had Windows 7 Home Premium.

    So why did my wife's 8 pro upgrade to 10 home? I wiped her HD and clean installed 8 pro then updated to Ten (I dont really care she doesn't need pro anyway)

    And you say you upgraded her Windows 8 Pro through the windows update method, after failing to use the flash drive method ?

    That may have something to do with it, as Derek stated you can`t upgrade from 8 to 10 using the Windows update method, according to the chart he posted.

    It could have botched something, the upgrade procedure has to be done right to work correctly.

    But, I have no clue why it wouldn`t upgrade Pro to Pro, both my 7 SP1 and 8.1 Pro installs upgraded fine to Windows 10 Pro.

    I`m not positive, but I`ve read here that you can upgrade from Home to Pro through the MS store, much as we did in the past, using Anytime Upgrade. If it`s that important to you.

    Win 10 Pro?

    Believe me I understand, something weird happened? I tried to use the flash with 10 pro I made but it asked for a key, then put in the flash of 10 home I made and it upgraded, maybe the 8 pro updated to 8.1 when I let it update to get the validation for the 10 upgrade and for some reason it converted to home? Don't know since I did not check this out at the time.

    Well, if you used a flash drive with windows 10 Home then that explains it.

    And I`ve read when using the flash drive method to upgrade and it asks you for a key, you are supposed to restart the PC pull the usb stick and the upgrade will continue, but this is something I`ve read.

    The flash drive method did the same thing for me on the Gateway machine when trying to upgrade from 7 SP1, but I had all the updates and reserved my copy of Windows 10, so I just did it through Windows Update and it worked perfectly, and I got my notification after only 1 day that my upgrade was ready, where I have read others have been waiting for over 3 weeks.
