Your current key will be changed and I used Lazesoft's Windows Keyfinder to see what the new key is. Just thought someone might be interested.

1457083 2019-01-01 17:46:00 Yes I see that but I only had the Win10 home product key and it worked for me. Bryan (147)

The upgrade from home to pro has NEVER been free . You have to pay for it.
MS dont give away keys either

I very much doubt he got a free upgrade to Pro :)
Run Winver & see what you actually have

1457085 2019-01-02 00:49:00 MS don't give away upgrades from home to Pro. If the PC had pro on at one stage then home was installed, then it would upgrade Ok, since the hardware has a digital license for the Pro already.

What happens with a LOT of these so called free upgrades is a KMS key is used, sure its free, BUT its limited in the amount of time you can use it before you need to actually activate with a real Pro Key or connect to a KMS server.
