My friend has just bought a laptop where Windows 10 S is preinstalled, and since he can't do anything because of the Windows 10 S limitation, he wants to upgrade to Normal Windows 10 Pro. The problem is, you need internet because you have to do that through Microsoft Store. The next problem is we do not have Wi-Fi and the laptop does not have LAN connection. How should we now upgrade to Windows 10 Pro without Internet? So my PC has Internet access because I have LAN. Is there any trick possibility?
There's Lan to USB adapter.
But you could also buy a WLAN router.
And show me the laptop that has no LAN.
You download the tool Media Creation Tool from Microsoft.
Do it from the setup select your USB stick and then it will prepare a Windows Insallation for the PC you want to install it on. Plug the USB stick out of your PC and put it on the laptop where Windows 10 should be reinstalled. It may be that you have to go to the bios first or it may be that he immediately boots over the USB stick as soon as he has booted over the USB stick you do it like any other normal Windows 10 installation.
Win10S can only be upgraded to Win10 Home:
If you really need Win10 Pro, you need to get a Win10 Pro product key and reinstall Win10, with the new key entered at the beginning of the installation.
Make sure that the laptop is connected to the internet via LAN during installation.
Correction:
My claim that Win10S only upgrades to Win10 Home is wrong. - Right is Win10 Pro.
The download from the Microsoft Store via Wi-Fi is certainly with a friend or elsewhere, for. For example, Mc Donalds.
