My PC is a one and half year system that came with Windows 8 Home Premium edition. As a professional software engineering, it has been upgraded to Professional edition at soon as it arrives the office. Then installed and uninstalled tones of the software. Finally it upgrades to Windows 10 Professional edition. The problem is there are some many junks left in the system and I do not want to deal with me. Since Microsoft is so nice to provide a digital entitlement on all Windows 10 system, I think a clean reinstall can get rid off those junk files.
The reinstall goes well until I check the activation. Not a professional edition? How can it be? By doing some Internet searching, Ed Bott's How to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro without hassles just solves my problem. The Windows installer is too smart to determine which Windows edition is right for your PC. If your PC comes with OEM tag in BIOS, the Windows installer will install that edition for you without asking which Windows edition you want. That's why I got Home edition. If you do happen to have the same problem, just change product key with the default product key and problem is gone.
