How to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro without reinstalling?

The company has Win10 Home on 70 workstations. Management decided to upgrade from Win10 Home to Win10 Pro.

Tell me, what is the way to switch from Windows 10 Home to Pro without reinstalling ? I know that you can just buy Windows 10 Pro keys and upgrade to Pro.

On the Internet they write that they say there are "universal keys" for Win10 Pro, but none of them work. What else can help besides buying license keys?

There are two ways to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro:
by purchasing a professional edition of the operating system in the Windows store;
workaround or alternative method - involves upgrading to Pro, bypassing the app store.
For the second option, you also need to have a universal license key in order to activate Windows 10, but without first purchasing a license for the operating system.
The second method, the home version is most often replaced with a professional one, and Microsoft themselves advertise it as completely legal, and even offer a key for this business: VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T.

It probably won’t work without a pro key, you can try the KMS activator, before there was a functionality for switching to a volume license (corporate key) You can try to activate the pro version with kms, Windows will update itself.
