Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro Without a Key

Are you stuck with Windows 10 Home edition but want to upgrade to the more powerful Pro version? You're not alone! Many users face this problem, especially when they reinstall their operating system. Fortunately, there's a way to upgrade your Windows 10 Home to Pro without a product key.

In my previous tutorials, I've discussed how to force Windows 10 setup to choose the edition type during installation. However, even with a genuine product key or license key for Windows 10 Pro, the setup doesn't allow you to select or install the Pro edition. This can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to upgrade your operating system.

Recently, I reinstalled the latest version of Windows 10 and was surprised to find that it automatically activated itself using the saved digital license at Microsoft servers, which was connected with my Windows 10 Home Single Language edition. When I started using it and connected to the internet, it was activated successfully, and the activation status was saved or stored at Microsoft servers as a digital license.

As it turned out, when I purchased this computer, it came preinstalled with Windows 10 Home Single Language edition. During installation, I checked the activation status using Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation page and found that it was showing 'Windows 10 Home Single Language' edition installed in my computer. The setup didn't ask me to enter any product key at installation time, nor did it give me an option to select Windows 10 edition.

If you're facing a similar problem and have a product key (license key) of Windows 10 Pro edition but mistakenly installed Windows 10 Home edition, don't worry! You can convert the installed Home edition into Pro edition without formatting and reinstalling Windows with the help of this tutorial.
