How to Change OS from Windows Home to Windows Professional/Enterprise

[VishalVijayan]

I purchased a HP notebook from a shop. It came with a Windows Home edition. Now the laptop has to be used in my company domain. I want to change the OS from Windows Home to Windows Professional. I have a license for Windows Professional.

I tried formatting the laptop with my ISO image file, but after rebooting it still, shows Windows Home.

Please advise me the process

Is it Windows 10 or some earlier version?

Hi, I followed the link, it accepted the license key for WIndows 10 prof. But it takes a long time after showing 100%. it is still showing 100%
