I've just picked up a three year old HP laptop with Windows 10 Home. Was thinking to install Windows 7 Pro, then upgrade back to Windows 10 and see if I can acquire a Pro license that way. But when I run RW-Everything, there is no SLIC tab under ACPI. This means there's no SLIC, right? There's not some other place in BIOS where SLIC can hide? If I could activate Win7 Pro, would my idea to acquire a Win 10 Pro digital license even work, given that this computer originally shipped with Win 10 Home?
Just clean install Windows 10 Pro and activate it with "massgravel". It will give you exactly the same result, but in a lot less time.
Thank you, @joluboga and @Carlos Detweiller; that's going to save me a lot of time and headache! MDL FTW
Sorry guys, one follow-up question. I changed to Pro with the product key then activated with massgravel and all looked good. Then I did a clean re-install and it went back to Home and now it won't accept the product key ... at "enter a product key" it says "the product key you entered didn't work." Can I fix this easily? [edit] okay, I should have done this first, but a little googling revealed that I should have added ei.cfg to my installation usb. I guess I just have to do that and then clean-reinstall again.
