    Had Win10 Home, brought upgrade to Pro, some how got Enterprise and now it won't activate.


    Hello,

    I've just installed my upgrade (Home->Pro) and now windows activation (in the settings app) reports that I don't have a valid license for Win10 Enterprise. Not having a license for enterprise makes sense, but what I can't figure out is how it got there in the first place, I payed for pro not enterprise.


    My guess is that the actual upgrade installed the wrong thing, what's the best way for me to get pro installed?

    :)

    Activate Win10 Enterprise with Upgrade Key

    I have a valid lot of upgrade licenses for Windows 10 Enterprise, but the activation agent won't accept it. How do I make it accept it?

    I also have valid lot licenses for WinXP Pro Install and Win7 Pro Upgrade.

    However, I can't install those OSs -- XP doesn't install on modern hardware, and even when it does it needs software updates before it can install Win7. Then there's the fact that it's just not reasonable to install three OSs to get to the OS I need to run.

    I installed Win10 Enterprise 64bit from the "trial" ISO image on Microsoft's website (version 1703, which is the version listed on my license).

    However, when I go to activate it, it rejects my Win10 key (0xC004F050). I tried entering my Win7 key to see if that would make it ask for the upgrade key or something, and it gave me another error (0xC004F210).

    How do I make it accept my key?

  3. Windows 10 Home upgrade to Pro becomes not activated Enterprise?

    This is the second time in a row where I've upgraded a PC from Windows 10 Home to Pro via the Microsoft Store on the machine. However, upon restarting I get the message that shows that Windows isn't activated and in the computer properties it shows that
    the machine is now Windows 10 Enterprise. Why is this occurring so often? How can an upgrade from Home to Pro suddenly become Enterprise, and on top of that, not activated? I'm paying for these upgrades, yet I'm not receiving them. Are there any steps that
    I must take to prevent this from happening? Is it inevitable?
