Product: Hp250 g6
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

There is a pre-installed and activated windows 10 home single language in my HP250 G6 Laptop. I have to install windows 10 professional offline. But as I format the laptop and install with original windows 10 all version DVD. It's automatically install windows 10 home single language. When I try to activate with a windows 10 professional key it shows error.

Hi:

 

The reason you always get W10 Home SL on your notebook after a clean install is because Windows installs the version that the product key in the BIOS is good for, which is W10 Home SL.

 

The only way you can upgrade to W10 Pro is online and by following the instructions at the link below.
