In the case you decide to upgrade, I highly recommend you use a DVD or a USB memory, because the online upgrade will make the process incredible slowly.Next, head to Microsoft’s Windows Media Creation Tool page and click the Upgrade Now button. After I finish the whole process with the first PC, I decided make a clean install for the rest of them.

We use KAV Endpoint Security and is necessary uninstall it before upgrade. Just this week I upgraded few workstations. Plus, the process need more interaction with the user than making a clean installation. The first step in the upgrade is check for updates in the actual OS, and just that will take few longs minutes. I didn't take the time with the swatch, but I can tell you there won't be a big different from a fresh install. The other way: clean Windows 10 Pro installįrom my experience, the process of upgrade from 7/8/8.1 to 10, and after from Home to Pro, is not exactly the 'faster' way. We always use retail licenses, so, I don't know how will work with OEM, but in any case, that's ilegal.
You will need a Key for 7/8/8.1 Pro edition.
After finished the upgrade process, you will have a Windows 10 Pro ready. IMPORTANT! This key won't activate the OS!! Change the product key to VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T and there will start a upgrade process to Pro edition. Maybe is possible make some workaround, but I don't believe it's good idea take the risk due those are company resources.įor jump from Windows 7/8/8.1 Home to Pro you can: Short answer: you can't (or you must not) use a OEM license in a different PC. So, in short: Does the option to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Professional using a Windows 7 Pro key work if that key is OEM, and are there any disadvantages to this over purchasing a retail key? I also don't really know much about OEM software, so even if this works I'm not sure if there would be disadvantages that might make purchasing new keys worth the money. but I can't find anything specifically stating if this use-case works with the key from an OEM Kit. However, I've learned that after upgrading to Windows 10 for free, as long as you bring it up to update 1511, you can use Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 keys to upgrade to Windows 10 pro, which I figure might be a little quicker at least and puts off end of life that much longer. I have a couple unused Windows 7 Pro OEM kits, so in theory I could do a clean install to convert them to 7 pro (and I don't think my users would complain, except for the time that takes and the hassle needed to keep their files). I have a few computers with Windows 8/8.1 Home edition that need to be upgraded to professional editions of Windows in order to join a newly created company domain.
