    Reactivate the OEM license on the new harddrive

    Hello,

    My harddrive (which has the Win10 Pro OEM license pre-installed) died and I replace it myself with the new one. Now I reinstall Win10 and everything work fines so far, Windows tell me that my PC is activated, but more on that later.

    When I (re)installed Windows on my new harddrive, I chose the Win10 "Home" in the installation page (I clicked, I don't have a key when the installation prompt me a key, then I chose Windows 10 Home). Now if I go to Activation in the Settings it shows that
    my PC is Win Home and is activated using digital license. I did not enter my product key yet since I re-install Windows.

    The question is, how do I correct this and make Windows realize that the OEM that's was on here is the Pro license. (I do have the DVD package and the product key but I can't find COA sticker on my machine case).

    Thiwat

    Thanks

    Best gaming harddrive Sugestion ???

    Seagate states on their 750gb,32mb cache harddrive that the best application is video surveillance.(liquor stores,how very sad and completly overpriced for the amount of problems they have).Yet Passmark lists this near the top of their harddrive page.Any one have a suggestion for something that will last.(maybe samsung???)
    Also I was considering a Raidmax hybrid 2 sli 630w powersupply.Any thoughts on Raidmax??
