Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro

[fiza]

We purchased a little Revo PC with Windows 8 preinstalled. Having configured it all we tried to join it to the domain but soon realised that it needs to be Windows 8 Pro to join a domain.

 

We are licenced for Windows 8 Pro via the EES agreement so I was wondering if there was an easy way to upgrade the machine from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro by using the licence key we have with the EES?

 

Or is it a matter of wiping and starting again?
