Method 6: You change SKUs to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro
I will explain this method. You add Windows 10 Pro profile. Media creation tool will think you use Windows 10 Pro while you are still using Windows 10 Home. So when you use media creation tool to reinstall Windows 10 without losing data, the tool will reinstall Windows 10 Pro. If you don’t add Windows 10 Pro profile, when you use media creation tool, the tool will reinstall Windows 10 Home. This method takes long time but I’m sure it works 100%.
Step 1: You download SKUs of Windows 10 Pro here
Step 2: You extract the SKUs of Windows 10 Pro which you download
Now you have skus-Windows-10 folder. You open skus-Windows-10 folder, then you copde all folders on it to C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\skus
(You press Win + R to open Run, Then you type: C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\skus to open it)
Step 3: You open cmd (run as administrator)
Then you type this code:
slmgr.vbs /upk
Then you copy and paste these codes:
cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rilc cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /upk >nul 2>&1 cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ckms >nul 2>&1 cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /cpky >nul 2>&1 cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T sc config LicenseManager start= auto & net start LicenseManager sc config wuauserv start= auto & net start wuauserv clipup -v -o -altto c:\ echo
Step 4: You use media creation tool to reinstall Windows 10 to complete this upgrade.
