Windows 10: Windows 8.1 pro to Windows 10 home.

Update my 8.1 pro with Windows 10. Been having nothing but problems with the internet, keep losing protocols. I have tried everything I could find on the forum. Nothing helps. Today I did a factory restore, then a new update to Windows 10. Boom, missing protocols. Could it be because I am going from Pro to home? Can it be fixed?

Windows 10 upgrade?

Once upgraded to Windows 10 Home there is absolutely no benefit over Windows 7 Home Premium over Windows 7 Starter. Microsoft have decided to simplify the number of Editions for Windows 10 due to the many complains they got with the many different editions
of Windows 8.1 and not clearly distinguishing them.

Windows 7 Starter → Windows 10 Home

Windows 7 Starter N → Windows 10 Home

[*]Windows 7 Home Basic → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 7 Home Premium → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 7 Home Premium N → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 8.1 → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 8.1N → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 8.1 Single Language → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 8.1 with Bing → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing → Windows 10 Home
[*]Windows 7 Professional → Windows 10 Pro
[*]Windows 7 Professional N → Windows 10 Pro
[*]Windows 7 Ultimate → Windows 10 Pro
[*]Windows 7 Ultimate N → Windows 10 Pro
[*]Windows 8.1 Pro → Windows 10 Pro
[*]Windows 8.1 Pro N → Windows 10 Pro
[*]Windows 8.1 Pro (Student) → Windows 10 Pro
[*]Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Centre → Windows 10 Pro

Note if that is a full license (non-OEM license) you can transfer it and revert your machine back to Windows 7 Starter allowing you to upgrade two PCs to Windows 10.

So download the Windows 10 home Single Language ISO from Media creation Tool or from Techbench and Trigger the installation.

 

You have to go from pro to PRO. If you want to do an install of Windows 10 home you must have a Windows 8.1 key, or Windows 8.1 "home" on your computer. And using a Windows 8.1 key means doing a clean install of Windows.

You can download the Windows 10 ISO using the media creation tool, and either burning the ISO to a DVD or copying to a USB drive.

 

It can be fixed by downloading the Pro version of 10 and installing. You can download the ISO of the latest user build from Microsoft.com
