    Clean upgrade of Windows 10 Pro to 17763 demotes to Home edition


    I have had Windows 10 Professional Build 17134 running and Activated since 07/18/2018 (slmgr shows a Partial Product Key of 3V66T).

    I am now attempting to do a clean install of Windows 10 Professional Build 17763 from a MediaCreationTool1809.exe-generated .iso, but it installs as Home (Core) complete with all the bloatware, and showing a completely different Partial Product Key 8HVX7 (see below).


    I can't say for certain, but the "8HVX7" Key may have been from the original Windows 8.1 Home on the machine, which I subsequently upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro, then to the free Windows 10 Pro, which has been good ever since up until now.


    How do I fix this to get the correct (Pro) edition installed and activated?

  3. Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

    Clean upgrade of Windows 10 Pro to 17763 demotes to Home edition

    Query on Clean installation of Windows 10 Pro on Windows 7 Pro PC.

    Original Title: Windows 7 Pro (from MS upgrade key) to Windows 10 Pro - Clean Install

    My Gateway NV7923U X64 came with Windows 7 Home installed.

    I purchased an upgrade key from MS and upgraded to Windows 7 Pro.

    I need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro and then do a clean install.

    • Will my existing upgraded Windows 7 Pro now upgrade to Windows 10 Pro automatically, or do I need to perform additional steps?
    • Will I be able to do a clean install and have Windows 10 Pro after upgrading?
