    Whenever I install Windows 10 it installs the pro edition without asking me which version I...


    I recently installed a new hard drive into my Dell Inspiron Laptop, when I was done installing I installed Windows 10 on to the new Hard Drive and it says activate windows. This is because I don't have an activation key for Windows 10 Pro, but I do for Windows 10 Home. The problem is that when I follow the Windows 10 installation found here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 it gives me no option to install the home version and just installs the pro version. I was wondering how I could install the home version because that is what I have a product key for.

    :)

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    As far as I am aware there is no Windows 10 Pro version.
    But I'd be happy to be wrong.

  3. Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    Hello guys,

    I'm planning to get a new graphics card and lets just go ahead and do a clean install aswell. Now I have bought a windows PRO key online and my running OS is windows PRO. Now I want to set up my usb to make a clean install. I wanted to use the windows tool to download the PRO version but its not in the drop down box. I have tried selecting different languages but I still couldn't find it. Now my question is, can I use my pro key on a normal windows 10? If so, my problem is solved. If not, how can I download the pro version from the tool?

    UPDATE::

    Apperently when the install is happening, windows will select the right version depending on the product key version. So PROBLEM SOLVED *Smile Whenever I install Windows 10 it installs the pro edition without asking me which version I... :)
