Can I upgrade Win10 Home to Professional without clean installation?
 
I got good deal on a copy of win10 Pro DVD, what I am using now is Win10 Home. I tried to upgrade from control panel -> Setting, it seems the key does not allow me to perform simply version upgrade.

Is clean installation the only way?

I was always under the impression that Win10 allows you to just change the product key (from Control Panel > System and Security > System) and you can change / upgrade.

Me too, but shop said the key is for clean installation. I tried another HDD to perform a clean installation, it works fine.

Even if you could just 'upgrade' from Home, I highly recommend a clean install.

clean installation, but only when you need to start from fresh again imo

you are suppose to be allowed to enter in the key and it will download and upgrade the windows version.
