As you might already know, there is in total 7 version of Windows 10 but as a general desktop/laptop users, you'll only need to focus on the 2 version of Windows 10 which Microsoft is offering. That is Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro. For Malaysia, Microsoft Malaysia has revealed that Windows 10 Home will cost RM 629.99 and Windows 10 Pro will go for RM 1,099. Mind you that these prices are exclusive of GST so you'll need to factor in the extra 6% when purchasing these boxed copies of Windows 10.

This upgrade can be performed through the Windows Store application.
