Just wondering. Did you buy windows 10 pro disk and install from that, or did you upgrade from Windows store from a free upgrade of 10?

Just because it was free upgrade, it does not mean, that it was OS for free.

You needed a licensed Windows 7 or 8 in order to upgrade; that one costs money too. You weren't able to get entirely free upgrade. It was more of exchange.

not justifying it. Just was wondering if it was an upgrade to pro.

I bought it through the Window's store after I bought one of the first Dell XPS 15 Windows 10 models. The only reason I needed pro was to enable HyperV to use with Vagrant.

Same here. Started off with home, upgraded to pro and I get the add too. I'm wondering if people that started off with pro get the message.

Again, not justifying the add- but I wouldn't be surprised if its because our accounts were at one time linked to home.
