I need an override method for this automation. But for this to succeed I need a way to prevent the installer from automatically reading my UEFI embedded key and configuring Home edition during install. So I will have to use the clean install (WinPE) method/installer. But apparently this installer has issues. User accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in theĮven though Microsoft confirmed that Pro edition had been activated, and I saw some upgrade installer reboot my PC. This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 10. It seems to suggest that I am using Windows 10 Home edition. One of the features it failed to enable is the lusrmgr snapin. except for the fact that the Home to Pro upgrade installer program appears to be broken, because it failed to properly enable all of Pro features and benefits. The PC rebooted and some "upgrading" message appeared on the screen. A Microsoft Support rep even confirmed that my Pro key had in fact been activated. But this should not be important, as both links seem to lead to the same "Enter a product key" prompt. Except I did not use the "Go to Store" link, but the "Change Product Key" link. I followed the instructions provided by Timmy. But that's a problem of Microsoft and Windows itself. And it is the correct path to follow, except for the fact that it doesn't work properly.
In any normal operating system world, the solution provided by Timmy should be the correct solution. This indicates that the install went well, but this activation thing is a puzzle. The PC came with the TH1 update (some 0.x build). This is definitely not the build that came with the laptop. The currently installed Windows version is 1607, build 14393.0. How do I go about to activate Windows 10 Pro edition on this Windows 10 Home laptop? Once the installation was done, and I connected to the network, it appears to have been activated, and it's licensed to "Windows User"? But the installed edition is still just "Home"? But the installer never prompted for a license key? I did get a 25 character key from DreamSpark. I have now done a clean install using the provided ISO file. This is thought to be a Home and Pro bundle in one ISO file, but the license key activates only the more feature-rich Pro edition.
So I have ordered a new license key for the "Multiple Edition". I have access to the Microsoft DreamSpark program through collage. But I want the more feature-rich Pro edition instead. I have a laptop here that came with Windows 10 Home pre-installed.
