Answered by ghost
- A: AnswerInstalling a Windows Pro license key on a system that originally came with Windows Home will not replace the existing Windows Home key stored in the BIOS. Buying and installing a Windows Pro license key will upgrade your current installation from Home to Pro. The Windows operating system manages this upgrade and doesn't modify the BIOS key itself.
