    Hey,

    Question as per title; I never used Win 8 on my Blade 2013 (installed Win 7 straight away).

    I want to use the Win 8 key to upgrade to to Windows 10 - can I use Win 10 Pro, or will it only work with Win 10 Home?

    Thanks,

    Su

    It comes with Windows 8 Home and the Windows 10 .iso is the same Pro vs. Home and based on your embedded product key it will load on the laptop the licensed version.

    Oh, and if you have a Windows 8 Home license then you cannot use it as a Windows 10 Pro.

    Hi Zoltan,

    Thanks for your reply - I am loading up Win 10 VM Ware, and I am going to try and convert the Razer Windows 8 key into a Windows 10 key... hopefully it works!

    Cheers,

    Su
