Is it possible to have two separate Windows 10 licenses (digital entitlements)–one for Home, one for Pro–co-exist on one computer?
My Dell 2 in 1 comes with a Windows 10 Home license that is tied to the hardware (digital entitlement). I'd like to use my Windows 10 Pro license on this machine instead of the Home that Dell provides (primarily for BitLocker).
Does using a Windows 10 Pro license with this laptop cause it to lose the digital entitlement to the Windows 10 Home license that's tied to the hardware?
Best Answer
Yes, you can have both Home and Pro licenses on one computer. I'm not sure how it will work if you install both Win 10 Home and Pro in separate drives in your computer, but I'm guessing it will still work.
No, you won't lose the Home license after you upgrade to Pro. You will still have an OEM Home license (in your device) and your Pro license.
You have a notebook come with Windows 10 Home license, means the product key should be stored in UEFI and still available in your device (and cannot be transferred) after you upgrade to Pro.
