Windows 10 PRO - SWIFT 3 SF314-57

Good day to all.
I recently bought a ACER SWIFT 3 SF314-57, very happy but x3 problems that i need assistance with.

No 1: I want to run a program how ever it needs .NET 3.5 and i cant seem to get it installed. ( I was told it is due to me having Windows 10 Home)
No 2: I tried installing Windows 10 PRO but have not succeeded at all not in Windows or from scratch via BIOS.
No 3: I tried accessing advance settings in Windows Update and it does not want to go in at all. (Even when i want to change the Update settings)

Could I please get some advice or if someone has experienced the same what should i do?

Hi,
Have you tried enabling .NET Framework in Control panel? If not give this a try, go to Control panel, Programs, click "Turn Windows Features on or off" under Programs and features, you can enable .NET Framework 3.5 by ticking(or selecting) the box.

You should be getting an error log or event viewer messages when it fails. How much space do you have on the drive? I haven't heard of any Home vs Pro issues with .NET framework 3.5 installs. If you really want to upgrade to Pro, you do that in the Activation area in Settings, just change the key to a Pro license and it's do everything in the background for you.
