Upgrade your version of Windows without having to completely reinstall your PC’s operating system.
Switching from a version of Windows 10 Home to a version of Windows 10 Professional is not as complicated as you might think. If you imagined a complete system reinstallation to switch from one version to another, you were wrong.
Microsoft has done it right. Upgrading a Windows 10 Home to a Windows 10 Professional is done by simply changing the product key saved in the system settings. You will therefore only have to buy a Windows 10 Professional product key that you will enter in place of the one already present on your machine.
Even better, if you already have a Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, or Windows 8 / 8.1 Pro product key, for example from a machine that you no longer use, you can usually use it for upgrade your Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Professional.
Windows can be unpredictable at times, so be sure to make a full backup of the data stored on your computer before starting the operation.
Here’s how to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro on your computer in minutes.
