Win10 Enterprise to win10 home or pro

Damien360

Hi

I have my old work laptop with win10 Enterprise and the licence has expired. Still works but no updates and some functions are still contolled by IT apparently (according to PC).

Now I am not trying to avoid license payment, I don't actually mind but there is a myriad of choices for license when I go to Google.

The MS store wants 140 dollars for win10 home but loads of sites that appear genuine have the same for about 30 Euros. Seems too good to be true.

So, is the only one I can trust the key from MS ?

Or am I better off with a clean install of win10 using a USB created from MS site and key purchase there also?

They keys are real keys but the licence isnt valid so paying the €30 is paying to be a pirate in one sense. Depends on whether or not you care about being legit.

This is dated July 30th so may still be valid and will be a legit copy


I used an accessibility version but that way is now closed.


Or why not try Linux

You should compare the home version with the pro before deciding ........ there were a lot of differences traditionally and I doubt that has changed much.
It might be that none of the differences matter to you, but best be certain.

On the other hand maybe there is a means of legitimising the present install from work? Might be worth asking ......
