ffuturesIt turns out that there are much cheaper sources of Windows 10, so I bit the bullet and managed to install Windows 10 Pro without any major trauma - for a couple of minutes I thought all my data had gone and would have to be restored from backups, fortunately it turned out I was logged in as admin rather than as me, and my own account was fine.
