Windows 10: Windows 10pro with a W10 family key

Ok, so my pc has been telling me for a couple month that I have to activate Windows but in my parameters I can see that everything is ok apart for the fact that when I click on the repair button, I see a notification that I have a product key for W10 family but W10 proffessional is installed.

And when I do what it tells me to do othing change.. If somebody, somewhere, can help me it would be very nice. Thank you.

Convert a Windows 8pro product key to a Windows 10pro produkt key

Hello Karthicka_R

thank you for your reply.

But as i wrote in my question: without any new installation.

• I have a valid installation of Windows 10home
• I can upgrade this to Windows 10pro but i have to pay it, i don't want to pay anything, because
• I have a valid Windows 8pro license key which i can upgrade to Windows 8.1pro and then to Windows 10pro, but i don't want install all new on my PC which is running Windows 10home.
  
• I want to get a Windows 10pro product key for my Windows 8pro product key and enter them in my Windows 10home in the 'Change Product Key Dialog' to bring my Windows 10home to Windows 10pro without any new installation.
• I can't believe that i can only upgrade my for an update to Windows 10pro valid product key only with a new installation.

Thanks for any answers.

Kind regards

Andre

 

Convert a Windows 8pro product key to a Windows 10pro produkt key

Hi Andre,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

I suggest you to Uninstall the license using the following steps.

• Press Windows key + X
• Click Command Prompt (Admin)
• At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs -upk
• Press Enter, this will uninstall the product key from the computer.

Further on, install Windows 8.1 activate the copy with the product key on the new machine. Then again upgrade the same to Windows 10 using Window Update or Media Creation Tool.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

Windows 10 Family reports not showing up

Hello,

Well, there are some additional steps which needs to be enabled once we are in Windows 10, that was the reason I had suggest to follow the steps from the link, but as you have mentioned that everything was setup correctly you may follow the steps and check.

• 
  Press Windows key + R key.
  
• 
  Type C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press
  Enter.
  
• 
  Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.
  

This will delete any corrupt files. Your settings will be downloaded again from

familysafety.microsoft.com the next time you sign in.

Let us know how it goes.
