    Windows 10 home to Windows 10 Pro failed with 0x80070490


    I purchased the upgrade from the Microsoft store to upgrade my wife's computer from Win10 home to Win10 pro using the inplace upgrade. It failed, saying it couldn't update and gave an error code of 0x80070490. I have searched support forums for a solution, and all of them so far have failed. When looking at the activation screen, it is showing Windows 10 Enterprise, which I didn't want. Now it says it cannot be activated with error code 0xC004C003, Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Release Date Announced

    Windows 10 Home will be $119, Pro $199.

    Microsoft: Windows 10 Home costs $119, Pro costs $199



    Which is good news actually, because Windows 8.1 is loads cheaper than previous versions (retail licensing at Windows 7 OEM prices). And it sort of puts a huge hole in the Windows subscription theory.

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

    And, some info from the FAQ page:

    Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:
