Hello all,
I have a Netbook running Win10 Pro and a Tablet running Win10 Home. I want to swap the product keys so that my tablet is Win10 Pro as I use this more than the Netbook.
From looking online it is an easy enough process to upgrade from Home -> Pro using the change product key within Settings. But would the same process work for a downgrade?
Also is doing this an easy enough process not involving a repair/clean install? I really can not be bothered wiping two machines
Thanks
Solved - It worked!
As some of the replies said, if these were simply new Win10 product keys there would have been OEM issues.
However, the netbook was upgraded from Win7 and the tablet upgraded from Win8. Therefore the new Win10 products keys were issued by Microsoft and not stuck by OEM limitations.
I simply done a clean install of Win10 on both using their new product keys. The Tablet, now running Win10 Pro from the netbook hit a snag by not authenticating the Win10 product key. A quick phone call to MS said try the Win7 key to verify my Win10 key. Odd, but it worked.
Advice from their tech support is to keep old product keys used in the Win10 upgrade. I assumed the old ones were deleted and replaced with a Win10 code, this not true and are still used to confirm your Win10 entitlement.
