You could upgrade him to Windows 10 Pro. I haven't had any issues of things changing. And you can get an upgrade code on ebay for $10. I believe they are usually licenses that came with a pc that has been disposed of or where a different OS was installed.
Some people claim these are fraudulent. But some sellers have years and many thousands of sales under their belt. I have had my $10 license for windows 10 pro for 4 years now without so much as a blip.
- alexhaber 6y agoI have a Surface Pro (2017), which comes with W10 Pro by default, and I can confidently say that Windows 10 Pro still nags the user. The most prominent example is the full screen nags that, although can be skipped, use dark patterns to trick the user into changing settings. Since I use windows with a local user account, instead of a Microsoft account, it often nags me to switch. Even when using a Microsoft account to sign in it still nags to set a pin to log in, instead of just using a password. I haven't found any setting to disable these permanently. Windows 10 LTSC is probably the best option, although I haven't tried it personally.

- shajznnckfke 6y agoI just installed Windows Pro on a new machine the other day with a key given to me by a friend. During the install process it asks if you want to use a personal account or domain account to log in. My guess would be you’d have to pick the domain account for the machine to be remotely administered. I’d be surprised if an existing windows install could be taken over merely by putting in an upgrade key.
