Preparation
Tipically, OEM product keys are not compatible with the direct upgrade.
However, there is an official way that allows you to perform such upgrade without performing a clean installation.
Upgrading to Windows 10 or 11 Pro using an OEM Code
Let's proceed with the actual process of upgrading to Windows 10 Pro using an OEM code. Follow the steps outlined below:
-
Visit our catalogue to explore the best deals on Windows licenses for your PC.
-
Purchase a Windows 10 or 11 Pro edition from NextKeys.io. You can find great discounts and offers on software licenses, ensuring a cost-effective upgrade.
-
Once you have obtained the OEM code, go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation on your Windows 10 Home device.
-
To go offline, turn off your internet connection temporarily.
-
In the "Activation" section, navigate to the "Upgrade your edition of Windows" option and click on "Change product key."
-
Enter the official Microsoft RTM code "VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T" and click "Next." Please note that this code will trigger the upgrade process but will not activate the license.
-
Click "Start" to initiate the upgrade process. Your PC will automatically reboot once the process is complete.
-
After the automatic reboot, manually reboot your device once again to ensure that the upgrade has been successfully completed.
-
Turn on your internet connection to go online again.
