Windows 10 Upgrade Offers one of the two, depending on what’s already installed on user PC. For example, Windows 8 Home users get Windows 10 home. Windows 10 Home is fine except it lacks some advanced features that professional users might need from Windows 10 Pro. You can’t switch versions, you’ll get home for home and pro for pro. Now, the only option you’ve left is to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro separately.
