    Windows 10 re-install gets wrong version


    I have a number of laptops that have had many different versions of Windows 10 installed on them
    Professional
    Home
    Enterprise

    I've generally installed Widows 7 Professional and then used the Windows 10 upgrade tool and then made a
    Wbadmin backup to a network share in case I have to re-install
    using
    wbAdmin start backup -backupTarget:e: -include:C: -allCritical
    and restoring from "repair my computer"

    This works 90% of the time, but sometimes it doesn't with a message that says "Windows can't restore your OS"

    So today I tried a few of these laptops using a bare metal windows 10 install and when I activated, all 3 came up as Home edition with a digital licence when they had Windows 10 Pro upgraded from 7 pro previously

    Am I missing a step? Is there a reliable, repeatable way to install Windows 10 pro on a PC that has had pro before?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
