Product overview
Move an eligible, activated Windows Home PC to Windows Pro.
Unlock Pro features on a compatible computer already running an activated Home edition. This is an edition upgrade and is not a full base licence for an unlicensed computer.
What distinguishes this edition
- Business security and control
Pro adds capabilities such as BitLocker, policy management, domain or Entra ID join and Remote Desktop hosting on supported devices.
- Retail, OEM and upgrade are different
Transfer rights and prerequisites vary materially; match the licence channel to the device’s existing entitlement.
- A practical step up from Home
Choose Pro when the PC needs business management, encryption or remote-host features—not solely for everyday Office work.
- Compatibility is non-negotiable
The computer must already have an eligible, genuine and activated Windows Home installation. Best reserved for a documented compatibility requirement; confirm support status and security exposure before deployment.

How should I prepare for installation or activation?+
Keep the order email and product details, back up important data, install current operating-system updates, confirm administrator access and remove conflicting trial or legacy software where the publisher recommends it. Never share a complete product key publicly.
What if the product is incompatible or I select the wrong edition?+
Pause before activation and contact the source-store support team with the product name, device or server details, operating system and order number. Digital-product return limitations may apply, so compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
