Purchase new computers for Fire Company, which has Windows 10 Home,  went to join PC to our Domain come to find out that Windows 10 Home OS cannot be use to join a network domain.

Does HP have License Key for Windows 10 Pro to upgrade the Home edition?

I don't think so but see with them directly

If you purchased it with Windows Home, you cannot "join a domain".

However, if you launch the "Windows Store" app, you can purchase a license for Windows 10 Pro.

yes, finally let's wait to see the response from the HP store
The windows store, perfect if you're ready to pay full price
I have not yet indicated that, I was expecting the user's response, because otherwise, it is better to buy licenses on specialized sites, cheaper !!

Thanks for response.  Being I work for a Non-Profit Vol Fire Company, I figured out that I can purchase license thru Microsoft Tech Soup at a much lower cost than from MS Store.

Thanks again.

Yes, it may save the person a few dollars, by trying to purchase the license from HP.

However, that might mean that the computer would have to be returned to HP, to get a refund of the purchase price, and then to purchase a very-similar computer that includes a license for Windows 10 Pro.

This will be inconvenient for the person, as compared to a few "clicks" on the Windows Store, to get the computer upgraded to be able to be put to work, within an hour.
