Upgrading Windows 10 Home to Pro
I purchased a HP Laptop that's part of the Microsoft 3rd Party Refurbisher Program.
It comes with a Microsoft Windows 10 Home product key affixed indicating that it is part of the Microsoft 3rd Party Refurbisher Program.
I'm trying to figure out my options to upgrade from a Windows 10 Home to a Pro edition?
I assume I first would need a retail Windows 10 Pro COA in order to change from Home to Pro?
I currently have Windows 10 Pro edition installed on a desktop Lenovo PC that's a retail version. I also purchased back when they first arrived on the market a new / unused Windows 8.x upgrade that's been sitting around unused since first purchased.
So my best option if I were to upgrade the HP laptop from Home to Pro would be to spend $$$ for a new Windows 10 Pro?
There really isn't much difference between Windows 10 Home and Pro so I'm thinking of just keeping the Home version installed on the HP laptop. ??? Currently the Windows 10 Home version has the ver. 1903 upgrade installed. So I'm uncertain what unusable features a Pro version would have over the Home version
