    In the end I gave up and purchased the upgrade through a personal Microsoft account I own. I think it was €99 whereas purchasing through other MS channels was much more expensive

    My only concern is if I have to wipe out restore this laptop going forward, I will have to set it up on my old personal MS account again to re-upgrade it. A real mess and all because my O365 accounts weren't accepted as MS accounts for the MS Store!
