I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64 bit on a VM, and I want to free upgrade to Windows 10. ( I don't want to install everything from new )

According to this answer the free upgrade is not provided by Microsoft

However according to this answer it is possible to 'trick' Windows 8 to change its edition from Enterprise to Professional, after which an upgrade to Windows 10 Professional should be allowed.

Are there any potential issues in getting around the upgrade restrictions in this manner?

Enterprise users are not entitled to the free upgrade. A potential issue to using this 'trick' is that it is piracy.
