I'm not having any luck figuring out how to upgrade from Home to Pro with an existing key. My system has been running Home and is currently running version 1511. Ddi utilities spyware reviews.

1. Windows 10 Pro Version 1803 Product Key

If you have problem with your current running windows 10 in your system and want to repair or re install windows then you need have windows 10 product key or serial key. I will provide you Windows 10 Product Key: Windows 10 Home Product Key, Windows 10 Pro product key, Windows 10 Enterprise Product key. Alternatively, you can also download Windows 10 ISO file for version 1511 build 10586 by following our previous guide here: Download Windows 10 Pro ISO File Without Product Key From Microsoft. Microsoft’s Windows 10 has proven more popular than the previous release of Windows, that was Windows 8/8.1.

I've decided to go ahead and use an existing key to upgrade to Pro. I did a clean install, expecting to be asked to specify a version and provide a key during install, but was never asked for either. The installer simply formatted the hard drive and installed Home and activated it, with no input from me after the install started other than agree to the terms and tell it my language. OK, no problem I thought, I'll just go to the Activation setting and give it the new key from there.

However, if I tell it I want to change the key it comes back and says the key I'm giving it can only activate Pro and I'm running Home. If I go the Store route and tell it I already have a Pro key, it gives me the same message - it tells me my key is for Pro but I'm running Home.

Nowhere along the way does it offer to take my key and give me the upgrade, rather it implies that I must somehow magically upgrade it myself before changing the key. And that would be fine if I could figure out how to do that. Anyone know how to force an install of Pro when the installer automatically installs Home with no option given to change it? So you select the route that takes you to the Store. Then using the screen that shows Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro you select I have a Windows 10 Pro product key. This opens a green window to input the new key and at that point it says your key is for Pro and you have Home. If that's the case a call to customer services may be needed.

Unless you want to wait to see if anyone else has another idea. I assume the key for Pro is not used anywhere else & is it a Windows 10 Pro key or a Windows 7 or 8.1 Pro key.

Windows 10 Pro Version 1803 Product Key

I assume the key for Pro is not used anywhere else & is it a Windows 10 Pro key or a Windows 7 or 8.1 Pro key. Yep, all correct. It's a Win7 Ultimate key, not in use anywhere else for well over a year now. And the really odd part is that when I input the key and it checks it out it even reports back that the key can only be used to activate the Pro version - yet it still never offers to give me the upgrade to Pro. Apparently it recognizes it, knows what it is and considers it valid, but still just stops at that point.
