Coverting from Windows 10 Home to Pro
11-04-2018 12:34 PM
My HP Pavilion 360 Notebook with Windows 10 Home, I would like to either. Convert to Windows 10 PRO spanish language which I have a valid paid license from a just broken HP desktop, or. To insert an Official Recovery HP USB Pen Drive which contents Windows 10 Home in Spanish. Which option is the best in order to convert my Win10 Home in English to Spanish Language. Let me know folks.
Thanks

Hi:
You just need to change the W10 Home key to the W10 Pro key you have.
See this link for more information...Upgrade using a W10 Pro product key...

Just so you know ... OEM licenses are tied to the original PC, not to the owner. So, if you have an HP license on one PC, you can not move it to another PC, even if you quit using the first PC. That would be a licensing violation.

My assumption is that the W10 Pro license purchased was a retail license.
If it were OEM, the W10 key would not work on another PC.

The license of the broken HP PC is retail and not OEM. I paid for it. Still apply what you said?

Yes.
That is the only way to do it.
