I have a Dell laptop that came with Windows 10 Home. I was trying to upgrade to 10 Pro. I downgraded to 7 Pro using the Multi-OEM project disk. It was activated with the Dell certificate. I then used the media creation tool to upgrade to Windows 10 pro but it installed 10 Home. Is there anyway to do this properly?
Yep. Would assume you didn't save the genuineticket. So either create one again on a Win 7 Pro or use KMS activation. When you upgrade with default ISO it will mostly use the MSDM key to upgrade to Home in your case. You'd need a ISO with an ei.cfg added to avoid that and upgrade to Pro directly.
I think I know what you mean. I need to Reinstall W7 pro, use the gatherosstate to get the genuine ticket, do a clean install of W10 pro with pro ei.cfg and manually put the genuine ticket in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket\. I think this is what you mean.
That would be the way. Default ei.cfg (would go into \sources\ folder of the ISO): Code: [Channel] _Default [VL] 0 The genuineticket can also be directly applied. Place the XML in root of drive c:\ and in admin CMD: Code: clipup -v -o -altto c:\
For posterity, you need to be offline to enter the License Key listed above. If you try while online, it won't let you proceed since the key wouldn't be able to be activated.
would someone be able to point me in the right direction. I have a new laptop that came with windows 10 home edition. i tried installing windows 7 but it wont install to go via the upgrade route to windows 10 pro. The bios wont support install of widows 7. What are the options available to me to go from home to pro on windows 10
Can some one please confirm the below? I bought a new Dell laptop with Windows 10 Home. If I disconnect from the internet and upgrade using the VK7JG upgrade to Pro key, then KMS activate using one of the KMS tool on this forum (i.e..OfficerRTool) , this will work?
Yes that will work. All info about the process: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...c-20h1-vb_release.80763/page-157#post-1601562
