    Activation puzzle


    Windows would not load properly on my machine after the update earlier this week. After several fruitless attempts to repair or reset, I loaded a clean "restore" version from my other PC on a thumb drive, and was able to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine.

    However...

    ...when I went to activate it, I was told that the key found on the machine is for a different version (Windows 10 Pro vs. Windows 10 Home) than I installed yesterday.


    How can I find the original key this computer's version of Windows was installed under... or, some how, get this PC's current version activated?

    Thanks.

    :)

    I tried the steps you suggested but still cannot use the program. I have tried other puzzle programs that work but I do not like them. I really miss my Magic puzzles.
