    I installed the wrong version of windows, how can i fix without reinstalling.


    I did the blunder of installing Windows 10 Pro instead of Windows 10 Home premium, so of course it won't accept my activation key. And i really wouldnt like to reinstall again, is there any way to change versions?

    Catalyst reporting wrong version fix

    Just thought I'd make a topic for this, as it seems, a few people, have this issue.

    This an official response from AMD support.

    Most people so far have been reporting that Catalyst 12.4 is installed, but continues to show as 12.3 Suite in the CCC software. It's a known issue, but the drivers are installed correctly.

    After installing 12.4, compare the DRIVER version to the version listed on the release notes for 12.4. You can also check the driver version in Device Manager for that video card. If it is installed, it should list the version correctly.

    Try these uninstall steps first, however:

    **********
    1. Download the WICU.
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Securit...-Utility.shtml

    2. Uninstall everything related to ATI/AMD and reboot through programs and features in the Control Panel (programs and features).
    Use DriverSweeper (freeware) to remove any remnants of AMD (check the "AMD Display" box) (_Driver Sweeper - Uninstall & Clean Drivers - Remove Leftovers - Official Home).

    3. Launch WICU and delete anything related to ATI/AMD/CCC.

    4. Delete all ATI/AMD folders in "C:\Program Files" and "C:\Program Files (x86)".

    5. Boot into safemode and navigate to the "C:\Windows\Assembly" folder and delete any assemblies which have the public token key "90ba9c70f846762e". It is possible that you won't find any, but check it.

    6. Reboot.

    7. Install the Catalyst package again. It should work now.

    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
