    Possible to upgrade this W10 Home laptop to Pro or Enterprise?


    I've been asked this by a friend, but I'm not familiar enough with 10 hardware to give him an answer.
    He's thinking of purchasing this laptop, but doesn't want 10 Home. It's an Acer Aspire 5 A515-54-749U Laptop 15.6". (The 749U may designate our NZ\AU market)
    The local merchant\product is here:Buy the Acer Aspire 5 A515-54-749U Laptop 15.6" FHD Intel i7-10510U 12GB 512GB... ( NX.HNDSA.00C ) online - PBTech.co.nz.
    Question: Is there a major impediment to upgrading from 10Home (ie, chipset\CPU limitation) on this or any other Home laptop,or is it just a matter of purchasing an upgrade key? Acer's driver website doesn't seem to offer drivers beyond 10 Home.

    There are no additional hardware requirements for Pro. Uses the exact same drivers as Home.

    What corporation would they be getting Enterprise from? It's for corporate use, not personal. However, same deal. No special hardware or driver requirements.

    Thanks again. I don't know any details, only that he doesn't want 10 Home.
    Cheers
