1) Did Home come with your computer? If so, it's OEM and cannot be
installed on any other system - once installed the licence is considered
spent and is tied to that computer forever.

2) If you used Home as a qualifying product for Pro the licence is now
assimilated into the Pro licence and is now no longer valid.

If you wish to have Windows on your laptop you must purchase it.
