Windows 10: Reset of WIndows 11 Home mistakenly became Windows 11 Pro. Now I cannot activate Windows.

I had a virus and so reset Windows. I had Windows 11 Home, but after the reset, I had Windows 11 Pro. I don’t know why this happened. Microsoft has been asking me to activate Windows 11 or else I will not get critical updates. I tried the activation on Settings, and got a message “… we can’t connect to your organization’s activation server.” attached But I have no organization. I searched online for a solution and the only suggestion that seems reasonable was on the MUO Make Use Of website: https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-select-editio
