    Upgrading Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro


    Howdy All
    -
    My new laptop* came with Windows 10 Home installed; pretty standard I believe.
    I've heard I can upgrade to Pro with an old Windows 7 Pro Key and I've reviewed some steps online.
    History has told me to check with you folks before making any major changes.

    I'm looking for the best (safest) way to implement this change.

    Advanced appreciation goes out to all who read this post and to those who reply!

    Hello jdU,

    It is really simple and safe to upgrade from Window 10 Home to Pro by just changing your product key to a Pro key like below.
