  1. I installed Windows 10 pro on accident on a hardware update


    So I recently upgraded my hardware setup. After going through headaches to get the system running, I'm near the end of the road. When doing a clean install on Windows 10, I wasn't paying enough attention, and apparently selected Pro instead of Home. I've tried the normal fix, but it isn't working. I get the message in the image. Help please? I installed Windows 10 pro on accident on a hardware update 240a3a70-3add-4cac-8d71-c32d749ecf3d?upload=true.png

  3. New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
