i am sure this has been covered before but can't find it.
when win10 first rolled out i tried to update to pro with a win7 home license but microsoft wouldn't activate.
do i need to buy a cheap license from ebay or is there another option?

You wouldn't have been able to upgrade to 10 Pro from a Windows 7 Home licence anyway.
Is there any particular reason why you need Pro? Most of its benefits are for things most people wouldn't find or even use in a home environment:

If you don't have a reason to need Windows 10 Pro then don't bother going for it as you don't need to.0

If you install W10 home then activate with a Pro license Windows will automatically install the additional Pro features. Which you won't notice.0
