Inspiron 5477 windows upgrade issue (not update, version upgrade from home to pro)

Hey All, I am trying to upgrade my 5477 win10 Home to Win 10 Pro. Upgrade always fails. it gives error code 0x0. not sure why. i have tried troubleshooter, disabling AV. but no joy. I have MSDN premium account and i have tried the upgrade with different keys. Is anyone facing similar issue? Appreciate any help.

So you are just changing the current key to the one for Win 10 Pro upgrade key? 

When I did my two upgrades, I purchased the upgrade key from Microsoft and the upgrade, if you can even call it that, was very fast.

You cant upgrade an OEM install with MSDN key.

You have to buy an oem or retail key.

  1. Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Update & Security  > Activation .
  2. Select Change product key, and then enter the 25-character Windows 10 Pro product key.
  3. Select Next to start the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
