    Installing a Different Edition of Windows


    6F4BT is the Windows 10 Home SL generic key you get via the Digital Entitlement. It shows Retail because once you do the free upgrade, you call Microsoft if you have issues not the OEM. That's my theory anyway. Mine shows RETAIL channel too, only it says Professional edition and my partial key is 3V66T.

    I backed up a system image of my Windows 10 then clean installed 10 Home SL. I ran ShowKeyPlus and the installed key was the generic key (the 6F4BT one). I dunno how this info could help you diagnose the problem.

    Anyway, restored my system image now cause I don't want to redownload updates and drivers.
