8.1 home to pro upgrade vs 8.1 pro rant

[erebus720]

So this topic is geared towards a vendor claiming that their web based application doesn't work on a machine due to the face it was upgraded.

They had an 8.1 Home machine for a lock system. It was in place upgraded to 8.1 pro per the vendors advice. They claimed it does not work, and is not supported.

Now they claim the upgrade... " it was not effective because the underlying system (Windows Home) was still operating and interfering."

This is such a huge pile of BS.

Never once have I heard of an application compatibility between Home/Pro version.

I'm also curious as to their reasoning for the Pro upgrade recommendation as the Pro version is necessary only for very specific scenarios.
