I have a business client who has a network of 6 computers and I'm going to be installing a server for him to run a database program. 4 of the 6 computers are running Home Editions of Windows: a mix of Windows 7 Home and Windows 8.1 Home. I need to upgrade these computers to Pro editions so I can connect them to the future domain. Windows 7 and 8 Anytime Upgrades won't work anymore as far as I know. He won't buy 4 new computers right now due to the expense of buying a server.
So what are my client's legal options here? Purchase a retail full copy of Windows 10 Pro (part# FQC-09131), wipe, and reload 4 computers? Is there a Windows 10 Home upgrade available so he can do an in-place upgrade to 10 Home then purchase from the Microsoft store the 10 Home to Pro "anytime" upgrade?
