Microsoft support has said that upgrading to Pro by activation code (not clean install) will add/unlock the pro functions, and not mess up what's already there.īeing the paranoid that I am, I'm planning to make a full Macrium image of my OS drive (including recovery partition, etc) before my attempted Pro upgrade. They have also stated that upgrading to Pro will mean that there's no way I can return to the original factory software state (Windows 10 Home OEM) for warranty purposes. Here's where it gets a bit sticky for me:ĪSUS has informed me that upgrading to Pro will void my software warranty, and may screw up the computer OEM customizations, etc etc.

I'm planning on the second option, as I can get a pretty good price locally, and it allows my some flexibility if I need to transfer devices.
#Upgrade win 7 pro to win 10 pro upgrade#
I'm hoping to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for a bit more control over updates, group policy, etc.Īs I understand it, I can do this either directly through the Microsoft store, or buy a retail version of Windows 10 Pro, and enter the activation code into my computer. I have a new G752VS running Windows 10 Home OEM from the factory. Calling both ASUS and Microsoft supports hasn't helped to clarify things either. I've been sifting through the ROG forums, as well as other windows forums, but can't *quite* seem to find a definitive answer for my query. I'm a first time Asus ROG owner, and first time poster.
