Windows 10 Pro

Windows 10 Pro is the professional edition of Windows 10, sold here as a digital product key for one PC and delivered by email. It brings BitLocker, Remote Desktop hosting, Hyper-V and domain join to machines that cannot meet the Windows 11 hardware bar, including PCs without TPM 2.0.

Support status: read this first

Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 on 14 October 2025. The operating system still installs, activates and runs normally, but it no longer receives free security patches. That makes Windows 10 Pro a considered choice rather than a default one: pick it when your hardware, drivers or line-of-business software need it, and prefer Windows 11 Pro when the PC qualifies. Microsoft's product lifecycle pages carry the official dates.

When Windows 10 Pro is still the right call

• Older desktops and laptops without TPM 2.0 or a supported processor.
• Specialist software, printers or scanners certified only for Windows 10.
• Offices that need every machine on the same Windows version.
• Anyone who needs Pro features on hardware Windows 11 refuses to install on.

Pro features included

BitLocker full-drive encryption, Remote Desktop host, Hyper-V virtualisation on 64-bit hardware, Group Policy and Active Directory domain join, plus everything in Windows 10 Home such as Defender, Windows Hello and DirectX 12.

System requirements

1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit), 32 GB storage, DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM 1.0 driver and an 800 x 600 display. Both 32-bit and 64-bit installs are supported.

How your key arrives

No physical shipment. The product key and activation instructions are emailed to your checkout address. Need step-by-step help? See our Windows 10 Pro installation and activation guide.

Frequently asked questions

Will this key activate Windows 10 Home Single Language or Enterprise?

No. A Pro key activates only Windows 10 Pro. Confirm your installed edition under Settings > System > About before you order.

Can I upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro with it?

Yes. Under Settings > Update & Security > Activation choose Change product key and enter the Pro key. Files and apps stay in place.

Can I move to Windows 11 later?

If the PC meets the Windows 11 requirements, an in-place upgrade is possible, but Windows 11 needs its own licence key.
