how to get back my Window 10 Home

Hi,

Your computer system seems to be recognizing the new product key instead of the original one. Do you keep a copy of your original Windows 10 Home product key?

If you have a copy of your original product key, you can add it back and replace the current one to reactivate Windows 10 Home on your computer. Here's how:

• Click on Start.
• Open Settings.
• Choose Update & security.
• Go to Activation.
• Click on Change product key.
• Enter the original Windows 10 Home product key.

Let us know if you are able to fix the problem after following the steps above.

Come back if you need additional assistance.

 

How to get Windows Home edition on to the new SSD on my laptop?

I have a PC I originally bought with Windows 8. I upgraded this to 8.1 and then to Win 10 just before the end of the free Windows 10 upgrade offer.

I took this PC for some support when out of town. After the issue in question was resolved, I asked the guy in the shop if he could do anything to speed up PC performance. All communication I had with this gent was done via someone translating as I don't speak the required language of the place I visited. The support guy recommended removing the DVD player and installing a SSD disk in the bay where the DVD player was. He said this was since the age of the PC meant that the HDD was slow. He also suggested putting Windows on to this new SSD. After he did so, I briefly checked the PC in the shop before I left. While things weren't exactly as I expected, the PC seemed faster. The SSD is now drive C and the disk originally in the PC is now drive D.

I'm now back home and fired up the PC in more seriousness. I have discovered that the version of Windows on the SSD isn't the same installation as is on the original HDD in the PC. Windows 10 Home Edition is on the original HDD. Windows 10 Enterprise is on the new SSD. This generated numerous issues:

1) I have neither a need nor a license for Win 10 Enterprise; Win 10 home was fine for my needs. I have 4 different devices and this is the first piece of unlicensed software to be on any of them. The unlicensed Windows version is making me uncomfortable

2) I am unsure how to get Win 10 Enterprise off there and get a home edition of Windows on there instead. I suspect from looking on the web that I will have to re-install Windows home edition. I'd even be Ok with Win 8 on there again. However I don't have the Windows install CD / license key which I suspect is back in the mother country in an attic somewhere (I relocated to a different part of the world a few years ago).

Can someone thus please tell me how I get Windows home edition on to the new SSD with the constraints I am facing? I believe the Windows installation on the original HDD is still there. I don't have a note of the license key in this part of the world.

Any help is appreciated.

 

How to change my home page back.

I don't think you are. I just did those steps on mine. Changed from Google to Bing, click Home button and it went to Bing. Changed it back to Google, click Home and it went to Google. Norton must have something jammed in there like a fishhook. I don't do Norton, so you're back to Josey's suggestions.
