    Win 10 Activation Issue and Misconfigured Device Specs


    Hi Everyone,


    So I have a couple issues...I think it has something to do with my hard drive being moved from one PC to another. The current device I'm on says I have an inactive version of Windows 10 Enterprise, but it should be Windows 10 Home. I never purchased Enterprise. In addition, 2 devices are on my Microsoft account with the same name but the device/hardware specs are switched. In the System Info on the device I'm signed into now says Windows 10 Enterprise, while my Microsoft account says Windows 10 Home, and vice versa. I'm not sure how to fix this but I am trying to activate WIndows on this device. I receive error code 0xC004F211 and am told after clicking "I changed my hardware recently" that a device linked to my account can't be found for reactivating the device I'm using now and to make sure I'm signed into the same account linked to the digital license.


    Let me know if you need any other specifics. Please help!

    :)
