Hi:

 

See the link below for how to upgrade from W10 Home to W10 Pro...

 

Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro (microsoft.com)

 

You would want to use the first method...

 

Upgrade using your digital license for Windows 10 Pro

To upgrade, select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Update & Security  > Activation .

Open Activation settings

  • If you have a digital license for Windows 10 Pro, and Windows 10 Home is currently activated on your device, you'll see one of two messages when you select Go to Microsoft Store:

    • If you see Install, select the button to install Windows 10 Pro.

    • If you see Buy, you may need to purchase a Windows 10 Pro license. Or, try to sign in to Microsoft Store with the Microsoft account that was used to purchase the Pro license. Then, follow the instructions to install Windows 10.

There is no free way to get W10 Pro unless you have a W7, W8 or W8.1 Pro product key you can use.

I know of no places where you can buy a legitimate W10 Pro product key for less than the price found in the Microsoft Store.
