    Windows 10 upgraded to wrong version (Home instead of Pro)

    Upgraded two laptops. One with Win 7 Professional the other Win 8.1

    The Win 7 had no problem and the Win 10 version is Professional. The 8.1 received Win 10 Home.

    Looks like Win 8.1 is the culprit.

    Win 10 upgrade on a Win 7 and Win 8.1 multi boot system

    I have a system that multi boots into win 7 or win 8.1. Why ? Well win 7 is 32 bit and win 8.1 is 64 bit and I was going to slowly set up the 8.1 system to mirror the programs on the 32 bit Win 7 install as there is no automatic 32 to 64 bit migration path.
    Both have genuine Win 7 and Win 8.1 licences. I delayed the 8.1 upgrade as Win 10 was coming.

    Can I upgrade the Win 8.1 install to win 10 and keep the multi boot options as Win 7 and Win 10 or will the win 10 upgrade kill the current multi boot configuration.

    Any advice appreciated

    The dotted wheel is just Windows 8.1 loading. Have you clicked on the Window icon and registered?
