my intention, should I keep the laptop, is to install Windows 10 Pro
in place of Home.

I hope never to be forced to say those words, ever again: install Windoze. I
also made vows to get more exercise, and to eat less junk food.
If you do not run any games, why stay with windoof? There was just a
quite emotional thread on the freebsd mailinglist about win10
killing all OS on the disk - happened with the latest update to 2004
(?) IMO. That thing changed the partitioning scheme and introduced a
500MB partition for the m$ bootloader, killing everything in its
way.
Anyway, my prefered way is to do a 1:1 copy of the origila hd - or
rip the disk and put is on the shelf. Then go Linux/BSD only and run
M$ from qemu/virtualbox.
I wanted to 'rip' the disk or even take it out and replace it with one
of mine (my usual style) but I had trouble getting the software to
work and it's a pain in the ass screwing (literally) around. if I
return it I'll depend on the Windows re-set utility.
a little uneasy since I don't know how strict the seller is about
returns (Saturn). done it before, was ok....
