    I am glad I found this thread.
    My Laptop came with Windows 7 and has been upgraded to Win 8 and then W 10 Home over the years.

    I was reading an article from Ed Bott and in 20 min I had a free update to Windows 10 Pro.

    https://www.zdnet.com/article/going-...thout-hassles/

    Under Activation I selected Change Product Key and entered an old unused Windows 7 Professional key I had from my Tech Net days. Twenty min later I am rocking Window 10 Pro and it is activated with a digital license.

    My main reason for going Pro was to get better control over Windows Update.

    I made the ei.cfg file in case I need to do a clean install.

    Perfect. Huge amount of info within all these threads.

    I doubt you will have same issue as older Win 7 laptops usually don't have product keys in BIOS.

    But you never know.
