Seems the OP's cheap laptop/notebook fits into the "You must pay" category. |
Yes you'll need to pay to upgrade to Pro but upgrading S to just a standard Win10 license is free. For a basic astro lappy, and for most other stuff*, you don't need Pro.
* In practice, I've only ever needed Pro to run a multiprocessor box as the normal license only supports one physical processor. I had a normal, non-Pro, license on a lappy which I used to use for astro stuff, as well as everything else, and never found any reason to upgrade to Pro.
