    This is a good Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. It is important to update Windows 10 Home completely before entering the new key and upgrading to Windows 10 Pro though. I had problems, but was able to recover after I entered the original key for Windows 10 Home, updated the PC completly, and then started the upgrade instructions again, by entering the new key for Windows 10 Pro.

    Of all the Windows 10 systems that are out there, this is the only one to use. You can encrypt all of your hard drives that you have in your system to protect you from hackers looking to steal your personal information especially if you do a lot of online shopping.

    Works as intended, however, it took a few hours to receive the product activation key. Not the end of the world by any means, but just something to keep in mind before purchasing. The key worked though to upgrade my previous version of Windows 10 to Pro, so all is good. Would recommend.

    If you require complex features, such as a network domain or the capacity to handle group policies on different computers (such as a small office), Windows 10 Pro has certain excellent features to make administration simple and centralized. If you run a home or small business, Remote Desktop Connection is an added reason to consider Windows 10 Professional.

    Works as advertised, easy no hassle install and I'm up and running with Windows 10 Pro. Not bad at $99, but I've learned my lesson to get Pro at time of purchase, it generally saves about $20.

    Windows 10 upgrade. Didn't get the email with the activation code so that was a pain to work through but after a few calls to support they were able to get me the code. As far as product goes, it's windows 10 pro upgrade from home edition. Worked fine.

    Got this to upgrade my laptop to 10 pro. It worked and all, but is a windows 10 pro upgrade really worth ~$100?

    Ok, no webcam. But I never wanted one anyways. The processing power and speed is excellent for such a small machine. I haven't put the laptop through the wringers yet, but everything had operated at a buttery smooth performance. Also hasn't run hot, like many laptops I have had in the past. For ther price you pay, this was a bargain.

    Nice Upgrade for Security! BitLocker is Great!

    Nice upgrade for Windows. I truly only did this due to Windows 10 Pro having the very secure BitLocker so I could secure my drives. I looked at other aftermarket/3rd party software, but I couldn't find any that I truly liked over what Windows 10 Pro offered. I like the decision I made and recommend it to others.

    Bought this mostly to remote access my desktop through another computer. Not sure about all the other goodies that go along with it. Not sure its fair you have to upgrade to pro for just that feature, hence only 4 stars

    Windows 10 Pro is a necessity with our company due to the security it offers. This upgrade quickly comes to your email with excellent instructions. The upgrade is so easy and fast that I was surprised. No data to back up and no data lost. Great price match and worth the purchase. Pro is the way to Go.

    I was a little upset that Best buy sold only laptops with Windows 10 home edition. But the $99 discount made the upgrade very affordable. It is easy to do you just enter the code from the activate app.

    We have to use Windows Pro. This upgrade allows us to find the PC configuration we want without regard as to whether it has Pro. It installed easy with no issues.
