    Unsuccessful upgrade to Win 10 Pro. How do I revert back to my Home version?


    Hi

    I just bought a new laptop 2 weeks ago with Win10 Home preinstalled.

    I wanted to upgrade to PRO. I used the new product key to upgrade but get error message:

    2018-11 Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64 Systems (KB4023057) - Error 0x80070643


    Now I'd like to revert back to my original Home version.

    I created a recovery USB pen to revert back to Win10 Home just in case I needed to.

    But I copied the Win10 Home USB recovery files to a desk top PC as I needed the USB for other things.

    When I copied the recovery files back from the desktop PC to the USB pen and tried to recover the original Win10, I had an error message along the lines of "some component is missing".


    1. How do I resolve the Win10Pro error 0x80070643

    2. How do I revert back to my original Win10 Home, particularly as I didn't make a note of the product key and it's not on a sticker on the laptop?

    Thanks


    * Original title: Win10 Pro

    :)

  2. Reverting back to win 10 Pro

    This is what you said in your original post:

    I was on OS win 7 ultimate and installed win 10 when it was launched and then HDD of 500 GB was changed to 1 TB and win 10 enterprise OS was installed in the changed drive. Now can I revert back to OS win
    10 pro


    Now, you say you have Windows 7 Home Basic.

    How were you expecting to activate Windows 10 Pro with a Windows 7 Home Basic key?

    Please note: The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

    • Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core
      will install Windows 10 Home ISO
    • Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro
      will install Windows 10 Pro ISO

    Win Pro reverted to Win home

    I've been happy do clean installs of Win 10 till yesterday. When the latest update came out Win 10 1511, I decided to do it with a clean install (using the media creation tool) on my Win 10 Pro laptop. The clean install when in without a hitch but when
    I checked it's Activation it said it was Win 10 Home. I can't find a way to get it to revert back to Pro. I've done about 5 clean installs using this method and it's never done this before. Any suggestions?

    Unsuccessful upgrade to Win 10 Pro. How do I revert back to my Home version?

    Need to upgrade Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro


    My first PC I upgraded did not upgrade to Pro. So I want to download the media for Pro, and upgrade with it.

    When I go to the MS site to download, it does not offer me a selection of versions to download.

    Can anyone suggest where to find the Pro Win 10 download, or a method that I can count on to upgrade to the Pro version?
