Anyone know if there is a Home to Professional upgrade

I am hoping my distributors have something I can sell.
I am not real trusting having my customer give M$
their credit card numbers.

Upgrade 'ware' for Office and Windows ceased years ago. All versions
released are full versions and priced accordingly.

Windows 8.0 was the last 'upgrade' Windows version with upgrade
pricing. Windows 8.1 and later is all full version/full price ware.
- Full version can be used to upgrade an existing device.

Office 2010 was the last upgrade 'Office' version with upgrade pricing.
- Note: For a short period of time upgrade pricing was
available(circa 2012) for Office 2010 to 2013 with qualification tied
to the point in time Office 2010 was purchased(i.e. it was a guarantee
to upgrade to 2013 if 2010 was purchased within a short period of time
prior to 2013 release).
- Full can be used to upgrade 2013, but not 2010 or earlier. Those
earlier versions must be uninstalled.


Ya. My vendors confirmed that. Yo hae to go through the M$ store.
It is $99 to upgrade. You get RDP support, among other things, for
those that want to remote in from home.

I am really not comfortable giving my customer's credit card
numbers to M$.

Not too many other choices since the upgrade when purchased($99), iirc
requires the entry of purchasers MSA unlike the other option to enter a
previous purchased or provided(by OEM, Builder, Microsoft) product key.

Thus the only remaining option would appear to be provider explicit
instructions for the user to do it themselves(to avoid you having to
give MSFT your customer's credit card numbers).

Maybe you can be like 'Doc' on 'Gunsmoke' and make house calls.
