Trying to install W10 Pro

Internet Swag

Hi guys I bought a laptop and a w10 pro key. 

 

How can I load win 10 pro into this laptop? 

 

When I run the W10 iso image it detects the W10 home key in the mobo. 

 

I don't get a prompt to enter my pro key. 

 

I need to load w10 pro on the laptop

Try entering the Pro key on the activated Windows Home, most of the time it will upgrade Windows there and then and then require a restart.

If you install W10 home, you should be able to just update the key using the Pro one. They use the same install, just features are turned on/off based on the key you input.

It failed. 

 

I think it won't work with dsp license cause it needs to be for new hardware. I'll have to wipe the machine
