how do you download the windows 10 pro installer

[AshleyC]

Ive got a windows 10 pro key for my laptop but only have Home on my PC. I need to download the media creation tool to give me a Pro install set. But since my PC is only Win 10 Home i dont get the option to create that install set with the tool. Is there any way of getting a Pro installer?

Get the .iso here..

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO

All the .iso options contain both 'home' and 'pro' versions.

Also, remember to choose the 64bit version if you have 4GB or more ram..

When I run the media creation tool, it gives me an option to 'Create installation media for another PC' which then lets me select Home or Pro, 32- or 64-bit. Do you not get this?

If you are only changing to a different version of windows 10 there is no need to reinstall windows or download extra installers.
1. In the search bar type the word: activation
2. At the window that pops up click the "change product key icon"
3. Enter your Windows 10 Pro Product Key. Wait for windows to complete the reconfiguration process.
Job done.

If you are changing from 32bit windows 10 to 64bit windows 10 a total reinstall is the only option.

I nearly posted virtually the same message but, reading more carefully, thought that Ashley is working on his desktop PC but wants to update his laptop which isn't running W10 yet.
