Two Quick Steps to Upgrade Windows Home to Windows Pro with a cheap license

Published: Mar 17, 2026

Step 1: Purchase a low cost Windows license from here.

Step 2: On the machine to be upgraded, start Command Prompt with admin privileges. Run this: changepk.exe /productkey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T. This will require you to reboot the machine and install the files necessary to get you into Professional license. If you are not going to buy a license and are okay without activation, you can use it. But if you bought a license go to the next step.

Step 3: On the machine that has been upgraded, start Command Prompt with admin privileges. Run this: changepk.exe /productkey YourPurchasedSerialNumber. This time you’ll not have to reboot the machine. Go to Settings –> Activation to see if your machine is now Windows Professional and is activated. It should be.

Works with Windows 11.
