Windows 10: Deactivate Win10 Home

I'm trying to deactivate Win10 Home on my currently bootcamped MacBook and reinstall it on a new partition since it's giving me a lot of issues. It tells me I don't have elevated privileges to deactivate when I run slmgr.vbs -upk nor can I find the local permissions folder. Turning "off" UAC didn't do anything.

I am the ONLY user on this computer, I have the OG product key, etc. How can I deactivate it?

TIA!

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Why has Windows 10 slowed my computer so much?

If you upgraded to Win10 with MBAM installed, it's very possible that the OS upgrade messed up something with MBAM.
(It was/is M$ "best practices" to temporarily uninstall your AV, AM and other security programs before upgrading to Win10, to minimize the chance of such corruption.)

Either way, for starters, I suggest a proper, clean MBAM reinstall.
I suggest carefully following ALL of the steps here: MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x.
Pointers:

• Please be sure you have your license info handy before you start
• Please be sure to deactivate your account before you uninstall (dashboard > "my account" > "deactivate")
• Please be sure to reboot when prompted by the removal tool
• It's a good idea to reboot again after the reinstall

Please let us know if that resolves your issue.

Thanks,
