i have been using dropbox for over 3 years but today it is not even opening the /home page... i use windows xp professional operating system on my computers. I have noticed , for the past year or so, banner announcements on my dropbox files & folders page that say xp is not being supported... but dropbox has operated fine. Please help as dropbox is integral to my freelance work. Thank you. 9 July 2019.

I'm using Chrome, which is one of the supported browsers. It has worked perfectly well up until about a week ago. Ie I was able to use dropbox online and manually upload / download files. I could also see what documents I had in dropbox and move them around. Now however there is nothing. I cannot get in. When I click on dropbox the little 'loading icon' just goes round and round and round and round. And the screen stays blank.

Hi again and thanks for the support. I cleared the cache and now the little arrow doesn't go round. the screen just sits there, blank. I havent' tried any other browser or incognito window since i never used them before when dropbox worked. Anyway....I suppose that it has just been 'improved' out of reach. sigh.

meanwhile using chrome on android, i seem unable to upload a file to dropbox. but at least i can download what is already there so I haven't lost all my documents. yet. although that waits to be confirmed as dropbox might 'develop' further 'improvements'! if it works why 'fix' it? lol

Yes, of course, you can buy Windows11 Pro in the Microsoft store, as a private person, but it is best to contact the administrator in the enterprise - explain your problem and perhaps you will get a license on preferential terms, e.g. education in some countries this solution is very beneficial.

Thanks Kapril. This is where I am stuck at the moment. I followed your directions and found where to access the upgrade but because Windows 11 Home won't let me sign out of my peronal Microsoft account that was created when I bought the computer and into my Enterprise account I can't get the Microsoft website to acknowldge that I have a licence. I'll go back to our support and see if they are able to give me a product key to use.

UPDATE: Thankyou everyone for your responses. I have now discovered that I had been given the wrong information and that the contract that my employer has with Microsoft only covers the Office suite and not Windows.

I have had issues with trying to use an Enterprise Microsoft account and a Personal Microsoft at the same time. All sorts of problems can happen with that. If I were you I would create a second User on your personal laptop. So one login would be personal and the other would be for work. Yep... just keep them separate.

Hello
The Microsoft Store no longer offers the upgrade from Windows Home to Windows Professional ?
When you click on the link to access the store, it is not possible to make this purchase.
Is there a solution to do this upgrade?

My brand new XPS-15 arrives today - obtained at short notice with Windows 10 Home edition installed. I only use Windows 10 Pro edition. What is the most straightforward way for me to upgrade to the Pro edition - ideally retaining a Dell installation image (with all the Dell add-ins, drivers etc). I do not intend activating the Home version.

I'm hoping that the current installation already has the pro features present (but locked) and can only be 'unlocked' by a Pro License Key. That would be great - is that way forward feasible. Please comment on whether a Dell(OEM) license key would be required or a Microsoft Sourced one.

To upgrade from Windows 10 Home if you have a Windows 10 product key:
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
Select Change product key, and then enter the 25-character Windows 10 Pro product key.
Select Next to start the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro

@EddieZe Wow that ! Sorry to hear that... Does not look good for me then, that's exactly what I need to do. But "Tech specialist" (or something like that) here told me that it should work no problem.

Clearly there is a problem here. As others have reported it is NOT as easy as entering a Pro License Key. That fails for me as it has failed for others. Dell should have a documented path from home to pro that works and document that on dell.com. OR they should tell us why an upgrade won't work. I ended up in the Windows 10 Enterprise state after a failed update after entering the lic key. Microsoft said only a clean install using a Windows 10 Pro image off a USB bootable drive would work. It didn't as when you boot from the USB drive it cannot see they main drive for some (possible secure boot related) reason.

Here is what worked for me:
After you try to activate from Win 10 Home to Pro and get the error message, try to install windows updates and than restart your PC, than come back to This COmputer, go to change product key and insert your new win 10 pro product key. The activation was successful for me after this. Hope this helps someone - btw, I have Dell G5 - 5500, brand new with win 10 home.
Have a nice day guys.

Step 8 : Install temporarily a generic license key that allows to upgrade to Pro. This will trigger the upgrade, then reboot the computer several times. This generic key but cannot be activated, so you'll need your own Pro license key to setup immediately after the upgrade. Copy and paste the following instructions in the command line prompt and type enter :

I'm using my Airpods Pro 2 to take Zoom calls on my PC running Windows 11. Despite keeping the volume to 100%, I can barely hear what the others are saying only in a Zoom call. When I'm playing audio via Spotify windows app, or Youtube via browser, 20% volume is sufficient to provide that clarity.

When I keep Spotify playing on the side with say 30% volume and open Zoom settings -> Audio, there is a pause in the playback and then the audio playing via Spotify becomes barely audible. The loudness drops drastically (despite keeping 100% volume) only on Zoom calls or Zoom audio settings. 100% volume on Zoom feels like 20% or less in other apps. The mic output seems fine though. I'm noticing a similar issue with my older Airpods Pro gen 1 headphones as well.

But for some reason I tried actually swiping up on the airpods themselves, which will increase volume when connected to my phone. It actually worked! It didn't change the volume level as shown in windows (already at 100%), but I was able to hear much better. So it looks like actually changing volume on the airpods is independent of changing it within Windows. This may not fix your issue, but it's worth trying. I feel so dumb that I didn't think of this before. But I swear that until recently, I *could* control volume via the volume slider in Windows. I don't know what changed.

Sorry, haven't found a solution yet. The issue still remains despite the latest updates. I tried with a Bose NC 700 headphone, and its the same result. So, it's not isolated to the Airpods Pro 2, rather a more prevalent issue
