    DON'T RECOMMEND TO BUY THE WINDOWS 10 PRO UPGRADE

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this product two days ago. There is nothing I could regret more. My computer kept showing blue screen errors ever since. I have to purchase the original Windows 10 Pro to fix the problem. Asked in the store if they would reimburse my Upgrade purchase and they said no because it is a software. I would recommend to purchase the original Windows 10 Pro at the beginning and not spend 100 dollars in the Upgrade. You may fall in a trap as I did.

    Code did not work

    The code I received did not work. When I reached out to Best Buy to get a new one they said the Code Master is having trouble generating new codes and gave no time line on when I would get a new one. I need this upgrade for my college classes. It’s been weeks and no update. I’m about to just get a refund and get the disk version.

    Code failed to upgrade windows 10 home. Verified entry of code multiple times on a brand new Microsoft Surface 7. Would not recommend getting codes from BestBuy as I have now had several issues with their codes and never get made whole even with Elite Plus Support.

    Don't waste your time with Best Buy when trying to upgrade Windows. I bought the key and have tried to upgrade Windows 10 Home on 3 different laptops. Always get the message "The product key you entered didn't work." A complete waste of $100.

    No help at all. The Geek Squad rep was totally unable to sort out my upgrade. So, despite time and money I am unable to benefit from the upgrade and I am also unable to download updates.

    not using - it wants to put all your private info on "one drive" & will not let you update your documents unless you are signed on where they can see everything.

    Be careful! If you download this to a brand new computer and that computer is damaged or you have to return it, you do not get reimbursed the $100 you paid for the Windows 10 Upgrade.

    I tried to return this because I ordered the upgrade and not the initial windows 10. So it’s basically useless for me. I was told I can’t return it since it was a download. Not too happy
