Upgrade to Windows 10 Home to Pro defaults back to Home

[Supersons]

Hi,

I need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Home to allow me to use remote desktop.  When I try to run upgrade from the store or USB it tries to reinstall Windows 10 Home.

Thanks

Hi

So you have bought a copy of W10 pro and use the Licence Key during install?

Did you make your own USB?

NB: There are lots of RDP protocols and VPN's that may be an alternative, depending on what you want to achieve.

For Instance I use RealVNC to control a desktop on a Raspberry Pi.

Hi

the problem comes from the fact that the key used is incorporated in the system!
I did not find the link there is a method, you must create a special installation DVD
try this:

Thanks for the help.  Found another article and got it working by adding a PID.txt file to the source folder within the windows install

[PID]
Value=VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

The key is the generic key that can be used for upgrading.  Once Windows is upgraded, use the key provided to you to activate the software
