Upgrading Your Windows 8.1 Home to Professional Edition

Note: Upgrading Windows 8.1 lets you move from a basic edition to a more advanced one, gaining additional features.
Note: Your documents, installed software, and other files will remain intact during the upgrade. However, it's advisable to back up your data to avoid loss in case of a power failure or other issues.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open System Properties by right-clicking on the This PC or My Computer icon and selecting Properties.
  2. In the Windows Edition section, select Get more features with a new edition of Windows to launch the Windows 8.1 upgrade assistant.
  3. In the User Account Control (UAC) prompt, click Yes.
  4. Next, click on I already have a product key.
  5. Enter the 25-character Windows 8.1 Pro product key and press Next.
  6. Agree to the licence terms and click on Add features.
    7. Note: Ensure your work is saved before clicking Add Features, as your PC will restart at least once during the upgrade.
  7. After the upgrade completes, you will see the message Thanks, everything's finished and your PC is ready to go. You now have Windows 8.1 Pro installed.
