Where does one buy a Win 10 Pro upgrade from Win 10 Home?
It seems any upgrade I find is from Win 7 or 8(.1).
I already installed the "free" Win 10 Home (from Win 7 Home) but I want to go Pro.
Anyone know where I can get such an upgrade?

I think you need to get to 100000 posts first. Or, I don't think there is an upgrade path - at least it wasn't obvious on the microsoft store page. I think you have to buy the pro version.

Just wondering why you'd want the Pro version? That's business/corporate focused. More stuff to take away more CPU cycles. I am not aware of anything that improves audio performance.

It's not for a DAW.

Hard to believe that someone here would have a non-DAW computer, huh?

When I upgraded I saw at lot of probably dodgy cheap keys being sold, even via Amazon & Co (some users claimed the received key works, some other say it didn't) ... which made me wonder how Amazon/Microsoft allow that ... Anyway, I needed a fast & definite & of course legal way to upgrade so I stopped researching and ended up buying from microsoft store app but not getting the $99 upgrade (was more like double which may just be the European price, maybe a payback for all the hard time the EU has given MS) ... enter credit card, the next moment your machine is win10 pro ...
