How to upgrade from Reader to Pro now on 64bit?

With the unified DC program, where is the option to change the upgrade to Pro now if admins choose to?

If the installer is set to install initially as Reader (which removes the sign in buttons and won't prompt for sign in), how do we now upgrade the program from Reader to Pro? Do we just have to uninstall Reader and install Pro?

There may be a shortcut to avoid an uninstall, but I am not aware of it. I would just go ahead and unisntall Reader and start the installation again, but this time for Pro.

Seems kind of silly to have a unified installer then if you can't convert from Reader to Pro

Take a look at the last comment in this thread, it lists two registry keys that play a role in this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/automatic-upgrade-from-acrobat-reader-dc-to-pro/m-p/12411765
