How to change the product key in Windows 10

Windows 10 Pro

Microsoft makes different versions of Windows 10 available to us, versions that have a number of different features from each other and that logically have different market prices. The Pro version is the version that offers more functions and possibilities, but the price of the license is practically the Home version.

If we have a Home version and we want to go to the Pro version, we will not have any kind of discount. Obviously, if we consider change, it is out of necessity and not out of whim, so the expense we have to make is worth it. Fortunately, it is not necessary to reinstall Windows 10 in the Pro version once we acquire this version.

If we acquire a Pro version, in order to activate the functions it offers us, it is not necessary to reinstall Windows 10, we just have to change the product key, so that Windows recognizes which version of Windows we have purchased and proceed to download the files required to activate the new features. This same case applies to the versions for Students and Educational Centers.

Go from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro

  • We access the Windows 10 configuration through the keyboard shortcut Windows key + io or we access through the start menu and clicking on the gear wheel that is shown in the lower left part of this menu.
  • Next, click on Update and security> Activation.
  • Within this section, we must click on Change the product key.
  • At that time, we must enter the new product key that we have purchased so that the Windows version changes to the Pro version and all the options of this version of Windows are activated.

Once the necessary content has been downloaded to activate the functions offered by the Pro version, we will have to restart our computer until all the new features are installed.
