SHADOW-XIII Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi, not sure if that was asked already, sorry then, just point me to the answer please as I couldn't find it. I got Win 7 Home (Box) on a laptop, moving to new PC desktop machine, I wanted to put Win 10 Pro from scratch on it (while moving old laptop to Linux).I imagine I cannot install Win 10 Pro from scratch on new build but I was thinking about installing Win 10 Home first (from scratch) Got few questions with that:- can I install Win 10 Home (free) from scratch on new machine providing that I have Win 7 Home box without installing Win 7 on the new box?- can I buy Win 10 Pro update to Win 10 Home (free)? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHADOW-XIII Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Just buy the Pro version... I thought so but saving extra $100 with "7 Home"->"10 Home"->"10 Pro" upgrade path is rather tempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
