    Hi guys,

    will be getting my new Asus UX330UA notebook tomorrow. It comes with 10 home. What would be the easiest way to switch to Windows 10 Pro? Is there a converter or something similiar and a tool to reactivate as Pro?
    Or would I have to download a Pro VL ISO and reinstall from scratch, and then activate?

    Thanks

    The kms emulator will just put the correct key in for the installed windows edition and not use the oem:Dm key.

    What does this even mean, he has OEM of Win 10 Home, I don't care which version of Win 10 he chooses, Win 10 Home will be installed, follow what Enthousiast said :D

    thanks for all your answers so far. still a little bit confused here. so i figure license info is still within the bios slic, right? is there still the way to flash modded bioses with modded slic tables, so the bios tells win 10 it's pro?

    The OEM embedded key for 8.x/10 is called oem:Dm (slic is for vista/7). It can't be modified.
