Hi Rog,

 

Usually you can go into Settings > Update and Security > Activation and click on change product key. Now insert the Winodws pro product key and it should automatically upgrade to Pro version. You have probably tried this?

 

Let me know,

David

If you insert your new product key directly in Windows Home without using the generic "upgrade key" what happens?
