Q: QuestionI understand that Windows license keys are stored in the BIOS. Will the Pro key replace the Home key in the BIOS?

Asked 11 months ago by cage316.

• A:Answer Installing a Windows Pro license key on a system that originally came with Windows Home will not replace the existing Windows Home key stored in the BIOS. Buying and installing a Windows Pro license key will upgrade your current installation from Home to Pro. The Windows operating system manages this upgrade and doesn't modify the BIOS key itself.
