Windows 10 S not upgrading

[andyroo19]

So this actually isn't specifically MY issue, however my friend has just built his PC (AMD Ryzen 3 2200G) and he got windows installed on it using the windows installation media. It won't let him download 3rd party programs because he has Windows 10 S. We each bought a Windows 10 home key from G2A (sketchy I know) and neither key worked on his computer, i try them both on my PC and they both work. So now we are trying to figure out why keys aren't working on his PC. Any help is appreciated.

You may be able to do it in one command, though I don't know if it works to change from S mode. 

 

dism /online /set-edition:Home /AcceptEula /ProductKey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

 

Not 100% sure "Home" is the correct edition. I normally use DISM for my server OS's not W10. You can run the below to get the edition codes and use the appropriate one:

 

dism /online /get-targeteditions

@Oshino Shinobu Because of the version being Windows 10 S, he can't access neither command prompt or PowerShell. He ended up buying a pro key and that worked which is stupid but now we're each sitting on $20 W10 Home keys.
