Windows 10 Home > Windows 7 Pro > Windows 10 Pro
Hey,
I got a new PC with Windows 10 Home. I already have retail versions of both Windows 7 and 8 Pro, so I clean installed 7 Pro over 10 Home (wiping existing partitions in the process), then did an upgrade to 10 (using the media creation tool) expecting to get Pro, but I got Home again, even though I upgraded from 7 Pro. The 7 Pro install was fully activated.
That seems wrong. How do I clear the hardware ID registered with Microsoft that forces 10 Home?
Seems a bit silly to have to pay £99 to upgrade to Pro when I already have 7 Pro! Can I get a 10 Pro key by giving my 7 or 8 Pro keys without having to pay again?
Thanks
