You cannot select a version for win10 installation in your laptop.

I got a new notebook with a pre-installed win10 family edition. I don't know why I always think it is uncomfortable to have no local users or group management. I started to make a tough effort to get the license of the Professional Edition, And I want to tune out the functions, but I didn't expect it to be a pitfall. In fact, the daily use of win10 family edition is enough, and the resources are saved a lot. Why do you have to force it?

If you have an activation code for the Professional Edition, you can select the <Settings> -- <activation> menu, select the <change product key> function on the right, and then on the displayed page, enter the activation code of win10 Professional Edition. win10 will automatically start the upgrade.

The entire upgrade process lasts for about half an hour. before the system is automatically restarted, you can do other work on your computer, right-click the desktop and choose <computer> -- <property> from the shortcut menu. The system displays that it is a professional edition, .... Local users and group management still do not exist.

It seems that only the system is reinstalled. Considering that win10 has made several major updates, It is faster to download the latest media creating tool on the Microsoft website to start and install a USB flash drive, note that the download is divided into 64-bit and 32-bit versions.

Currently, the latest version is the 1607 production tool. In 1607, the Professional edition and the family edition are two-in-one ISO files. Select win10 when you select a version. After the installation is complete, enter the BIOS settings of the notebook to start from usb flash as early as possible.

The odd thing is that there is no prompt to select the Professional Edition and Home Edition during the installation process, and the prompt is displayed as Home after the installation is complete and then re-installed as a USB flash drive, if there is a genuine version, I can use a non-local user group. Is it a Bug?

One way to think of it for half a day is to upgrade from win7, such as the flagship version of win7, which is the professional version after the upgrade, but the editor should remind you that the drivers should be made on the hard disk in newer laptops, at least NIC Driver, motherboard driver, and USB driver are required.

After the mini-editor is installed, the NIC won't recognize it, and even the USB controller won't recognize it (this should be a 3.0 controller, so you can't cry, even if you have a desktop at home, remove the laptop hard drive, you also need a hard disk box. When countless brain cells die, I think of a trick. I made a PE on other computers and copied the driver to the USB.

Start with pe usb, refer to, generally in the top two rows, into the PE win8 or win2003 maintenance mode, even if the network card does not recognize, the PE driver recognizes USB 3.0. In the PE Windows system, copy the driver from USB to the hard disk, restart the system, and attach the NIC and USB to the hard disk.

I may think why is it so troublesome to upgrade the mini-Editor directly from the installed win7 to win10? I would like to remind you that if win7 is in an inactive status, it will still be allowed to be upgraded to the home edition instead of the Professional Edition. You can connect to the Internet to activate win7.

After activating win7, go to the multiple_editions_version ISO of win10. Do not go to version 1607. Otherwise, the installer will exit after the verification fails. We recommend that you upgrade the versions of 2nd and 1511, this is close to version 1607.

One night of bad luck began to transfer, in win7 window upgrades will be promoted to the Professional Edition, is to copy files, install win10 process. After the upgrade, the version is 1511. Enter the correct key and finally become the Professional Edition.

We recommend that you use windows update to upgrade to a minor version (normal check and update). We recommend that you use the official easy-to-upgrade tool in 1607. For more information, see download, it takes about one hour to upgrade to 1607.

The above solution took a long time in general and had to install windows twice. Later, I summarized another method. Media creating tool is still used, but do not download the latest version on the official website. You can find the old version on the Internet, and right-click the file and choose Properties-View Details to view the version.

The editor finds a version 10240 and double-click it, as shown in. When you select the language, architecture, and version, when you select a version, you can choose to create only the professional U disk installation disk, so that the installation will naturally become the Professional edition, which saves time, but it takes some time to upgrade to the latest version, you can check whether the tool is closer to the new version.
