Windows 10 Home Activation Tab Crashes

0

I want to upgrade from Windows 10 Home (which came pre-installed with the HP Spectre laptop) to Windows 10 Professional so I can run Virtual Machines. I think I can do this on the activation tab, but it crashes. This is in the event log.

This was fixed with the 'Creators Update', but the 'Creators Update' would not install in the normal fashion, I had to download it manually first.
