_ **Steps of upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro** _

## Step 1: Check your Windows version

Before getting started with upgrading, you should check to see which version your PC is running. To do so, head to the search box in the Windows 10 Taskbar, or click on the Start Menu. Next, type in _About._  
In the list of results that appear, click on _About You_ _r PC._ This should launch a settings window. Scroll down to the bottom portion of the screen, and check under _Windows Specifications_ . There, you should see which version of Windows you’re running. If it lists Windows 10 Pro, then there will be no need to upgrade. If not, proceed to Step 2.

## Step 2: Click to upgrade

Next up, in that same window, click on _Change product key or upgrade your edition of Windows_ . This should then open up the Activation settings page. You’ll now see two ways to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro. If you’ve already purchased a Windows 10 Pro product key, you can click on _Change Product Key_ and simply enter your key to upgrade. Windows will check the key against Microsoft servers. If it validates, your computer will download some of the required files for Windows 10 Pro, prompt you to reboot and then switch you into the new version of the operating system.

## Step 3: Purchase a product key

If you don’t already have a Windows 10 Pro product key, you can purchase a one-time upgrade from the built-in Microsoft Store in Windows. Simply click the _Go to the Store_ link to open the Microsoft Store.
