SHA256 · Jun 2, 2017

I have a Lenovo laptop which comes pre installed and pre activated windows 10 home license from Lenovo. Is there a hack to upgrade to Pro for free?

I am also a student so is there an free lunches from MS to avail Pro or above license?

Thanks

Try this :
Install Windows 8.1 Pro and activate it with a KMS solution > upgrade to Windows 10 10586 (TH2) : this should give you a digital licence > now you can updrate do creators update.

NOTE:

Windows8+:

MSDN ISOs are now generally shipped without CFG. The Pro/Home version will prompt for a key and install according version. So it needs to add a CFG in that case.

For OEM machines with MSDM table and embedded key the Setup will always install the version matching the embedded key by default. To get a install choice it also needs a ei.cfg to be present.

Using [EditionID] will force the mentioned Editon install, w/o that 2 lines it will offer the choice.
