  1. Accidently Installed windows 11 home instead of pro after hardware changes


    I recently updated my PC, with a full set of new hard drives and some other hardware changes. I wanted to reactivate Windows using my account, but it seems I installed Home instead of Pro, which I was using before. I've already fully set up this PC and installed many applications and such, and I do not want to have to reinstall Windows again. I can't seem to activate the PC while it's running home.

    :)
