Windows 10: I have a Windows Key for Windows 10 Home Single Language, but my new computer came with a...

As the question states, I already have a key, but when I try to activate it on my configurations, I get an error as if it doesnt work 0xc004f050.After trying the key again on my old computer, I realized the key IS working, but not on the new one, and I believe it is because of it coming from the shop with Windows 10 Pro. Is there any way for me to rollback?

Windows 8.1 Single Language upgrading to Windows 10 Single Language?

Thank you for your reply.

Here is what I did:

• Fist upgrade to the version that Windows allows you to upgrade to which in my case was Windows 10 Home Single Language (at this point in Russian).
  
• After upgrade, get the new product key that was assigned to your new Windows 10 Home Single Language
• Here is the catch - the new product key will only work for this version of Windows 10 which means for any Windows Home Single Language you want. You can install a different language by making a clean install of a Windows 10 version of a different
  language and installing from ISO or USB) - see further ...
• Open the Media Tool that Windows provides for download and create either a DVD with an ISO or a USB Flash Drive and choose the version
  WINDOWS 10 HOME SINGLE LANGUAGE
• Choose the language you want (in my case ENGLISH).
• Make sure you create the right version of it (32bit or 64bit)
• Once you are done, restart your computer and let it boot by itself with the version that was on automatically (Russian) and find the product key for your version.
• Make sure your Windows 10 was activated properly before making a clean install.

Now you will be making a clean install so make sure you personal files are backed up.

• Open Start and enter msinfo32 and run it.
• You will find the product key in the properties. Write it down on a piece of paper.
• Insert the DVD or the USB drive.
• Now shut down the computer.
• Turn on the computer and interrupt the start up entering the option (depending on your device it will be a different key). For my HP it was ESC.
• Choose Boot Options.
• Let it boot from the DVD or the USB.
• Install Windows 10 Single Language. You can find another thread here for more exact info on how to proceed with the install itself. Search for "Clean install of Windows 10".
• Again, this will only work if you first have upgraded to Windows 10 previously.
• Now you can either enter the product key or SKIP IT.
• This way I got the English version of Windows 10 Home Single Language.

Hope it helps!

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
